Apple Thread - The most overrated technology brand?

[GeorgeFloydFentanylStash]

They held off longer than 90%of computer companies, that’s as much as anyone could really hope for. Everyone else jacked up today’s prices based on tomorrow’s costs to get extra gravy while they sold down their parts inventories.

That’s because Apple has overcharged on memory prices for years.

A curious little tidbit.

Seems Apple's Reality Composer Pro 3 software uses some code from The Machinery, a lightweight, flexible game engine which abruptly shut down in August 2022.

Kinda glad I got my M2 Max in 2023. Will tide me over until the M6 or M7 really force my hand.

It sounds to me like the entire new computer hardware market is increasing prices
Consoles, personal computers, laptops, mobile game devices, phones

I hope that this makes people realize these luxuries are just that, luxuries

I'm glad I was able to help out my brother with getting the m5 macbook pro on a Costco clearance recently (they were clearing out 512gb pros that Apple has stopped making in that storage size).

 

[Sneed Chuckson]

Breaking news, Apple customers are getting BRUTALLY price gouged! In other news, the sun continues to rise in the east.

 

[King of Racism]

If the goyim were willing to pay $200 dollars for every additional 8GBs of RAM during good times, they'll gladly pay this.

 

[Fcret]

Honestly, buying certified refurbished is still the way to go. Never pay full price for a Mac if you can help it.

 

[GaryGray]

Everyone involved gets what they deserve.

All this so we can force Debbie in accounting to use way overspecced LLMs to generate birthday cake emails

Fuck you, retard. They are commodities. They should be produced more efficiently, but the problem is not that they are 'luxuries', it is thieving jews like Sam Altman driving up prices. The solution to increases in computer hardware prices is simple, it's the Final Solution.

Is your life dependent on right now of having the latest Apple product? Is ANYONE in such dire need to function they must have brand new Apple/Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo products?
These are luxuries. I may be wrong but I dont think anyone on this planet physically needs the absolute latest greatest computer/console/laptop when a basic one does the job


A commodity would be any laptop. computer or phone. A luxury is getting something brand new because its name brand and fancy.

This line of thinking is why the market lost the entire middle section to shitty plastic Win11 laptops on one end and shitty plastic with RGB lighting "gamer" laptops on the other. Even worse since the Neo was actually starting to bring it back, too.
