Exactly as you've said, Apple's prices are comparable with their direct competitors for similar specifications but they just don't provide a low end.
If your needs are met by the low end, you're forced to pay a premium.
- freehunter 9y agoI originally said "It's almost like "the apple tax" doesn't exist and people are just mad that Apple doesn't make cheap low quality products" You replied "Not sure I agree on the cell phones at all." Your justification for that was "Apple's prices are comparable with their direct competitors for similar specifications but they just don't provide a low end." It is a complete non-sequitur to say they're charging you a premium to buy a high-end device if you want a low-end one. They charge exactly the same for exactly the same. Not a tax. Fact: Apple's prices are competitive with comparable devices. Fact: Apple only competes in the high end market. Not fact: Apple forces you to buy their products even if you can't afford it.
