“I never, ever show the price product before the day of launch, because otherwise people are going to make the purchase of this decision based on price. During the warmup campaign, they need only to evaluate the purchase of the product based on the features and the long term vision. If you put the price, you kind of ruin the whole thing because there is going to be this other element that they cannot unsee anymore. And so never show the price before the actual launch date.”
