I still feel like $3,500 to watch YouTube is crazy.
Why would one app’s availability define a device’s entire use? That’s like saying $1,000 to watch YouTube is crazy for an iPhone, or $5,000 to watch YouTube is crazy for a Mac Pro — that’s just one of the many things you can use those devices for.
