Crazy how much the price of phones and laptops have shot up in the last year

[The Frozen One]

Apple started this bullshyt trend.

iPhone at$999 and entry level Mac pros at 1500+. The airs are useless, no retina plus only 128gb sdd and 4 gigs of RAM.

Now almost all flagships are pricing their products to compete with apple.

mac computers stink.

And the craziest thing is that most the budget end is even more ridiculous than the high end. Most laptops under 500 are shyt 2-in-1s or garbage dual core pentiums with 720p displays. It makes no sense.

In what regard?



Copped a used bookmac pro in 2012 and still have not incorporated one single update since then. My shiit is still running on the same operation system since.


No viruses, no lag, music still performs at a high level.



best laptop I've ever invested in.



And i'm pro windows.



And FWIW... I'm still using my ipod nano 5 gen from 2010 and ipad 3 from 2012.



These shiits last forever.



Gonna run my iPhone 7 til the wheels and buttons fall the fukk off (great fukkin' device and have nil compelling desire to upgrade cuz it's been running flawless size cop day February 2017).



Bite my spleen.

I don't get this thread.

Do you want an apple product or nah?

It's always been sold at a premium.

Apple products have always been expensive. The first iPhone was like 500$ at the time that was crazy expensive for a phone m

Exactly.

First iPhone was $599 on contract

Compared to a Blackberry at $199 on contract

A damn shame how the prices of Macbooks are legitimately a down payment on a car . They look hella nice though but never in my life will i fork over that much money on a macbook. and I live in Canada so i don't know if we have the option to have it financed like the rest of y'all in usa

I mean you can always get a 2014-2017 macbook pro thats refurbished or something new

Its all based on consumers, and consumers are some confused/clumsy ass people

Are they ripping people off yeah
But computers can last long if you take care of it
Something most people can’t do
