How do you define expensive? I someone charges $7 for a coffee is that expensive or cheap?
To replace a iPhone 14 Max battery Apple charges $99. I'm pretty confident 3rd parties could do that for much cheaper. Especially if 3rd parties were allowed to make the battery or if batteries sizes were standardized.

We know that consumers who don't understand the risks will buy them. We know that lots of people will get ripped off, and that some will be hurt.
- InCityDreams 4y ago>How do you define expensive? I someone charges $7 for a coffee is that expensive or cheap? I use my "Guinness Scale": how many Guinnesses can I purchase using this money? I have three local pubs and each sells a Guinness for €6.50, therefore, to me a $7 coffee is expensive. My latest keyboard cost me 4.5G - bargain, as it's backlit, and I've had it for two weeks now - I also factor in use/ per annum/ per day - my bicycle cost has cost me 1.06G since I bought it in 2019, but I have added/ replaced parts and bought clothing which has taken the price to around 3G (and 2020 was a washout for sports). I also kniow how many Guinnesses I earn a month, and that helps with budgeting. The Guinness scale is adaptable: I sometimes use 'a pair of jeans', whatever gives me a perspective i can relate to.
