Because $1000 is too expensive for a mass market product.

iPhone sales beg to differ.

"As of early 2026, iPhone Pro and Pro Max models dominate Apple's sales, accounting for over 50% of new iPhone series purchases. With total annual iPhone shipments often exceeding 230 million units, this indicates well over 100 million Pro models are sold annually".

It's just a matter of priorities (and lack of cheaper alternatives of other platforms with similar performance).

People are willing to pay more for a phone than a console, or a car than a phone, or a house than a car!
