It's ridiculous.
- jakelazaroff 4y agoPeople have been saying this for literal decades. That's not what's causing the drop.
- PedroBatista 4y agoWell.. now it is. early 00's Macs were overpriced BUT they had the die-hard Apple fans which were mostly professionals with high income, then by the late to early 10's Macs were actually inline or cheaper than PCs ( and much better ), but in the last ~5-6 years the prices have been higher and higher to the point a large portion of their newly found market are being squeezed. I imagine those people are not buying PCs in droves, but they are certainly holding to their older hardware.
- Terretta 4y agoAt the new M1 prices, the highest ever, Apple shipped personal best and industry best volume. We need to look elsewhere for an explanation.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoThe m1's were in line with the rest of the market, if not cheaper.
- Terretta 4y agoStats on 2019 vs. 2023 and Apple relative to other PC makers, shown elsewhere in this thread, suggest they are not "completely out of the market".
- PedroBatista 4y agoWatch 2023 and 2024, prices will come down ( a bit, because Apple can wait and can't look desperate to move units ). They are out of the market now for what they were expecting, obviously they are still selling products.
