While the screen seems decently priced (though hard to tell before reviews), the base configuration of the new Mac Pro is at $6k at least twice as expensive as it has any right to be, and much more expensive than previous base models. And given how low-specced that base model is and how expensive Apple upgrade always are compared to normal market prices we can expect the Mac Pro to be at least twice as expensive as comparable PCs across the entire line.
The price for the phone likely has to be this low, though if this genuinely is a new strategy they might introduce a gold version or something like that. However getting the newest iPhone each year is already mostly a status symbol, while the monitor stand probably has a lifetime more comparable with a watch.
There's lots of $1000 phones now. As with most Apple phone changes, the other OEMs and users complain at first ("no more headphone jack!", the iPhone-X front screen bevel) then end up doing it themselves.
And let's not forget some go higher than the iPhones like the $2000 Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Also, Apple always makes older gen phones available if you're price sensitive -- the iPhone 7 (and 8) is available starting at $300 on their site for example.
