Your list is a bit short.

Just used mine to track a jog as a combination of stop watch, heart rate monitor and pedometer. All with periodic voice read out.

Come on. No one is saying some won’t think it’s worth that much money. Hell note8 costs about as much too.

The issue is cook saying it’s value priced. Value price is the old iPhone which does all the same things for a lot less money. If the X is value priced what is the iphone6/7?
