I do agree with the sub- $1000 Macbook Air, I bought a couple of those. In particular I don't know why it was not more popular among consumers that don't need the flagship models. I think consumers must be programmed to buy the model with the most features. I don't think that's a fair comparison with iPhone, since you are comparing the least expensive of a line with the most expensive. There are plenty of iPhone models to choose from, and they haven't abandoned the lower-cost tiers. Check out the history of iPhone cost tiers here, they have only significantly expanded the upper end over time. https://twitter.com/asymco/status/1040240778860146688?lang=en https://twitter.com/asymco/status/1040240778860146688?lang=e...
