Except I'm not seeing anything on subscription where you already own the hardware actually being sold for cheaper!

- TeMPOraL 4y agoPart of it is simply, why would it sell for cheaper when they can get away selling it for the same? And part of it, I believe, is inflation. I.e. I believe inflation is vastly undercounted and underreported, because a good chunk of it hides in "shrinkflation", decrease of manufacturing quality, lower-quality components, replacing customer service with "AI" chatbots and recently also voicebots, more ads and upsells, and - of course - extra subscriptions tacked on to everything.
