Oh, it will sell! For the very reason it's $230 (remember the "I am Rich" app of olden days?).

It's definitely a signal

Like anything newly launched, this is a test product. Just be happy that Apple is keeping innovation and experimentation alive.

Yes, it’s a financial engineering and pricing test product.

Okay, guess I can buy a sock.

If this is a "test product" from a multi-trillion dollar business, the American economy is perma-fucked.
