Let's be honest, no one really needs a $1,000 smartphone

A thousand dollars could be a down payment on a car, a month's rent, a few months of groceries or - it'll get you a smartphone.
I love tech as much as the next geek, but $1,000 seems pretty steep for a smartphone. Then again I'm frugal. I like nice things but don't like spending extra money just for a name.

For perspective, I've never owned a pair of Jordan's. But maybe you did, and maybe you're eying that $1000 iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Or perhaps you're anticipating what is sure to be an equally expensive Surface-something from Microsoft if a device materializes. But do any of us really need to drop a grand on a smartphone or Microsoft's potential ultramobile-something?
