People at the low end are more price sensitive than people at the high end. It makes a ton of sense to me, tbh. The people buying the low end models might not buy at the low end if it gets too high, but people buying pricey high end models aren't going away. Anyway, it's speculation. I trust Apple to have figured out how to make the most money from their market. But maybe they're wrong! Honestly hard to know.
- angoragoats 3y agoApple certainly has figured out how to make a lot of money from their market, and it’s by selling radically under-specced machines and charging radically inflated prices to upgrade them. The low-end models should have better specs, at the same price. Regulation is needed, IMHO.
- BugsJustFindMe 3y agoIt's weird to me to say that regulation is needed for what are widely considered to be the best laptop computers for almost everyone at any price by a country mile. The reality is that only a fraction of buyers actually benefit from upgrades over the base configuration.
- angoragoats 3y agoDo you have any citations for those claims? While Apple does have excellent build quality across the board, I struggle to see how the lackluster and overpriced 8GB models would ever be considered “the best laptop computers.”
