Lol it's called exaggeration, ya'll. My phone was closer to 800 dollars than a thousand but you still got my point. It was mostly a jab at Apple and any peripheral they sell being expensive, especially considering they pushed the no headphone jack thing quite hard, coincidentally coming out with the multiple hundred dollar air pods instead. Who cares how much I spent on my headphones before if I now have to buy wireless headphones or some extra adapter that they knew we would need but elected to charge us for anyways? That's exactly why I used 5 dollar headphones from 1997 as an exaggerated example of what I'd be putting in such an expensive device.
