Ok, then let's say, GPUs, CPUs, screen panels, hdd/ssd &c. I mean, does anyone believe apple is giving up margin to absorb inflation ?

  Yes, I stated as such. I don’t work at Apple, but I am a Product Manager. Pricing is a critical part of product market segmentation. Apple’s pricing is a deliberate choice, not an accident, and they absolutely give up margin for volume.

The first plasma TV I bought was 42" and $2400. It was replaced a few years ago by a 62" plasma that has a tenth of the bezel, weighs at least half as much, and cost $800. There is no network hardware in either device.

  Name please. I’ve been looking for such a device.

    A Samsung from Costco that I am sure is no longer available, which is why it was probably at Costco. Costco's order archive doesn't go back far enough for me to find the model #, sorry.
