Apple’s new USB-C iPhone cables and dongles are predictably expensive

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Mac minis are $600.
A physically smaller Minisforum UM480XT with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD is $249.
The Mac Mini is a significantly better value.
No it isn't. Do you need help understanding the numbers you're reading?
Not at all. The Minisforum is overpriced garbage compared to the Mac Mini. They’re not even remotely comparable.
I’m sure it is. So?
I’m sure it is. So?
Maybe go waste someone else’s time? Child.
And yet, people buy iPhones instead of 3 Mac minis.
People buy expensive Android phones too. What’s your point?
My point is that Apple is price gouging.
Neither one counter example nor whataboutism change the fact that Apple products are overpriced in general (and always have been). Or how do you explain their unparalleled profit margins?
What is 'captive labor' for $800, Alex
What a ridiculous argument. They make as much money as the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their shareholders.
Consumers should buy the cheapest quality product the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their peers.
Yeah. Well, the whole point since the top level comment has been that people are willing to pay too much for their hardware...
I give up. Stay happy with your overpriced devices.
I’m glad you give up. I’ll continue to pay for devices that provide me with an appropriate level of quality for their cost. Feel free to use whatever Android device you can afford.
I say this as an Apple user: Really, dude? Really?
