It's kind of hard to answer the question if a device is worth the price or not, because in my opinion none of the devices that are out today are worth the amount they are asking. I'm not saying that the technology isn't amazing because it s, and lets face it 10 or even 5 years ago we wouldn't have expected the devices to be as good as they are now.
That doesn't mean they are worth the money e are expected to pay though, and while for some spending $1000+ on a smartphone that's out of date within 6 months might be acceptable, for the majority of people they can't justify spending that amount of money, and even if they could they wouldn't.
