I knew someone was going to post that link. There's no price justification in that link other than saying $2 chargers are bad & so are $19 ones. So, does that mean $30 is the price point. Ofcourse not.
You are missing the point. I'm not saying $2 chargers are the right price. I'm saying, Apple overprices everything, include headphone cables, phone cases and what not. Their retail price is BOM + Retail_Markup + R&D + Apple_Markup. That last component is what I'm talking about.
- Turing_Machine 12y agoI provided evidence. You provided none other than your opinion. Kindly provide a link to a charger of comparable quality to Apple's that costs significantly less than the $19 you can buy one for on Amazon.
- enscr 12y agoThe link that you posted is an excellent comparison BUT no evidence that "$30" is the right price point for a good charger. The iPhone charger has poor rating on current sag. The ipad charger has poor rating on voltage sag.
- hatbert 12y agoActually, the Apple chargers in that link displayed the expected behavior for the USB 2.0 "extended power" (can't think of the actual title) specification. The author has a fancy oscilloscope, but that doesn't mean he/she knows everything.
- Turing_Machine 12y agoI'm not the one making the claim that $30 is "overpriced". You are.
