The problem is that since there is no real competition all this shit propagates to other companies. If Apple is charging 1000 for a shitty phone, you better believe others will follow suit and charge 900-1000$
Meanwhile the fucking phone should actually cost 200$…
I was exaggerating for effect. I just did a quick google:
A new report details how much it costs in materials to make Apple’s top-of-the line iPhone 14 Pro Max. According to Counterpoint Research’s bill of materials (BoM) analysis of the iPhone 14 Pro Max with 128GB, the cost is about $464. That model retails for $1,099
So I’m not far off in the price difference. Like I said overpriced bullshit. But you feel free to keep sucking that apple dong.
That’s just the materials used to make it though, what about R&D, software development, etc? I dislike apple but imo the phones are overpriced for a reason. Adding RAM or storage to their computers though… that’s real price gouging.
The solution is simple: Don’t participate in the Church of Steve Jobs, don’t turn yourself into an Apple disciple (and apologist).

$200? what fantasy world do you live in?
The cost of making an iPhone 14 Pro was $570 and it sold for $800.
