Apparently Japanese teenagers also have a lot more disposable income to drop nearly two grand on a cell phone.

Some of them do, of course. iPhone's market share is ~65% in Japan. If they successfully marketed it as an "iPhone + iPad in your pocket", $2k would not be an unimaginable price. And there will be more affordable foldable phones when they're more adopted.

But of course this one is from Google so it doesn't enjoy Apple's branding premium.
