This rings basically true, but less cynically.

Yes, the pricing isn’t… great. But they clearly feel this is a low-volume product no matter what (they weren’t going to ship it at $1k), so they might as well price it to make it worthwhile. If people then don’t buy it, someone at Apple might feel vindicated(?) about that.
