I don't think Apple charges all that much. I can afford latest Apple products, but, for example, not a one bedroom apartment.

The iPad’s I have (all low end models) are older than the androids (in one case, 2x older) and still work much better. Retail price / years supported is pretty comparable for Apple and Android. On top of that, you can get deals on “discontinued” newly manufactured apple devices, and used ones as well. I have many complaints about Apple, but value for money isn’t one of them.

I did pay for some out of warranty repairs on the Mac about 5 years ago. (Keyboard and battery replacement.) So that evens the total cost of ownership situation a little bit. Having a PC has only cost me about twice as much as having a Mac over the past 10 years.
