I think most Americans have unrealistic expectations about mobile product prices as they have been using subsidised smartphones so long that they are shocked by actual prices when they want to buy a product sans contract.

My friend have you ever studied an Apple iPod Touch and the very close similarity to an iPhone without the cellular, and those come at Apple's elevated prices.
By the way, I read they didn't put auto-focus on the iPod Touch only because they wanted to make it even thinner.
