I've got a iPhone 7 plus, it was painful shelling out the $ for it, and I still don't use 70% of the functions or to its fullest abilities. I think once you get into that price category, it ain't about the functionality or features, its all about the bragging rights. Lets be realistic, who really uses all of even 1/2 of the functions on their smart phones.
I've got a 7 Plus phone myself and had the same thought- I don't take advantage of 3/4 of what it has to offer either. X looks beautiful though.
I think that you are right and that is the whole point . That they offer a phone so expensive, so sweet looking that it becomes the prize. So you offer it as a prize for a contest, reward for attending time share thing . etc.
ie most people will not buy it, they will win it.
and ofcourse apple pockets the money.
that is how I got my ipod and Ipad opening checking accounts etc. ( granted I think I would have to get a mortgage to justify a 1100 bucks)
I would never pay that much money for a cell phone...that is just pure greed.

Blah blah blah Latina's ass...blah blah blah!
They play on people's wants and trying to keep up with the Jones's, if one were to spend that much money on say a laptop computer you would get a pretty nice one, or say a family vacation where memories are made...to me it is ridiculous to spend that type of money on a device, it really is getting out of hand...smartphones have become another addiction that people are having to deal with. I don't know, but I do know I will not be getting one.
I won't fall for their genius marketing lol.

Phones are out of hand. U used to be able to buy the phone outright for $250 or less. Now it's $500+
I'm with you guys I have a iPhone SE which is the guts of the iPhone 6+ but in the original sized iPhones. Wife and I don't like the jumbo size of the new ones. Great for YouTube or videos but a tad too large for daily practical use if u ask me.
We also don't like how on the 7 they ditched the headphone jack....yes I know the world buys Bluetooth headphones but I'm fine with the freebies they provide they come in handy at times. Not about to spend another $100+ for Bluetooth earbuds for the rare use they get.
Blah blah blah Latina's ass...blah blah blah!
I have a 6s plus.( yes the big one ). I thought the push feature allowing you to peak at a app was a great idea that didn't seem to pan out. The only reason I upgraded to the 6s plus was the moto g I had locked by the carrier and couldn't be patched. I went to a site called https://www.whistleout.com/ plug in the phone you want or don't want, how much up front
how long you plan on keeping it and they sort every plan out there and 1 2 and 3 year cost
moto g is still a pretty good $230 phone . buy direct from motorola and get a cheap wireless plan in the end it will save you money and an unlock phone is upgraded direct from motorola. ( where as my moto g was lock to the carrier I was stuck)
BTW there was no 7S they went straight to 8 and "x" of course. So I assume you guys have a 7
Im waiting to get the X, I have the iPhone 7 now. Will not get the 8. The new features the X has is worth the upgrade from my 7.
