If apple made it with stylus control? Sketching and note taking with One note? There’s a new product line.

At the current $2k pricing it would certainly be an upgrade, not a lateral replacement.

The multiplier isn't as important as the total cost -- under two grand isn't exactly an impulse buy, but it's also not prohibitive.

Eh. Plenty of people buy iPhone Xsen even though it is 3x the price of competent midrange phones. Another 1.5x multiplier on a $1200 Xs Max doesn’t seem like an insane deal to me for the added feature if you’re a mobile media consumer.

Maybe Samsung has learned from Apple: the profits won’t be found down-market.

Foldable devices like this won't remain $2,000. It's not replacing anything today. Tomorrow it will when you can buy good devices that are comparable for $600 or $700 and Samsung is forced to compete on price.

At a (admittedly hefty, but not prohibitive) premium over the combined price of a higher-end phone and a tablet. The whole idea is that you're getting one device that can do the work of both.
