It sets a new precedent. Air was supposed to be cheapest, and they trying to stretch people into paying more. From fab perspective, they used the same and it becomes CHEAPER not more expensive to make it. The upgrades were very incremental too; so this is very much a money grab.

- bradlys 4y agoAre you advocating for a rework of our capitalistic global economy then? If so - just say that. A capitalistic company gonna do capitalistic things - shocking. Shocking!
- seabriez 4y agoCapitalism says there are way much cheaper/better options than a 8 / 256 laptop for $1200. The fact that you are somehow defending a device that's clearly overpriced doesn't help your argument. Capitalism also says that Apple has a monopoly due to locking down all their apps to only work within their ecosystem.

They may have used the same five nanometer process, but that doesn't mean Apple's own costs went down. I don't know what their negotiations look like, but TSMC have stated that they'd be raising prices on already-established chip technology. In general, given supply issues for many of the components that go into making a laptop over the past few years, it would be a miracle for Apple's costs not to have risen. Combine that with general increases in the price level, and 20% is probably not that far off.
