I just don't get people knocking the price .. A 64GB iPhone cost $749 off contract.., A single phone.. This is a headset, 2 controllers and room sensors.. The Headset has a lot of TECH in it... Right now.. A Samsung S6 plus Gear VR actually cost $749 also.. So a significantly inferior experience (no body tracking) cost about the same..

The average consumer doesn't actually pay $750 for a phone, and if they do -- its on an installment plan.

230 million people bought iPhones in the last 12 months. Together with high end android phones probably 300 - 400 million people bought a $500+ phone in the last 12 months.

And installment plans don't make these phones any cheaper, the hardware costs are only better hidden (for people that are bad at math or don't care about the total costs).
