    When did Apple ever do more and cost less, outside of the early 80s? The “Apple tax” has been around for 40 years. Regardless of whether it did more or less, and it’s done lots of both over the years, Apple stuff has cost more for almost the entirety of their existence and you don’t even need to specify what type of device.

        Which has always been true. They just don’t sell cheap low perfomance hardware. It’s like complaining ferraris are expensive, and then someone points out actually they have a lot of performance for what you pay for, especially when compared to Lamborghinis or Maseratis at the same price point… yeah…

        To be clear i haven’t bought apple in decades and never will again. I used to be a big fan in the 2000s and 2010s though.
