Apple did a hell of a job teaching people that means it’s more fancy.
Yeah but apple actually takes care of its customers. They are one of the few ones that is exactly what it seems, and isn't expensive or cheap. Most people saying apple devices are overpriced simply aren't the target demographic for the products.
They sure don't do that from the good of their heart,
they make their customers pay for a 'service' that robs them of their freedom
Apple routinely slows down its phones with every major update, promoting people buying $1k+ phones every 2-3 years.
Bullshit. Upgrading from 1 TB of internal storage to 2 TB on a laptop is not a $250 expense. Before the memory crisis, I could have bought a brand new M.2 SSD with the full 2 TB for less than that.
yeah but it is nearly double that now
I did say before the memory crisis. It's not a bad deal now comparatively with everything else being overpriced, but that doesn't change the fact that Apple hardware is itself overpriced.
"poor people making poor people noises" is all I'm getting out of you. what are you doing on lemmy dont you have an ai chatbot to flirt with?
You sound fun.
