Apple already sells overpriced devices and other manufacturers are doing the same, this time, in the name of inflation and memory shortages.
It’s not 2011 anymore, Apple absolutely dominates the price/quality range. They sell premium devices, and while others sell their premium devices at times at much higher prices, they still don’t even come remotely close.
For example I am constantly on the lookout for a different laptop that provides the features and performance for that price and I always come to the conclusion that there still isn’t. I’ve got a beefy ThinkPad at work (and it’s a really good laptop to) but in terms of real world performance it doesn’t even come close to my baseline M1 MacBook that is over 6 years old.
Apple products are now again overpriced but that’s because of memory.
