I'm OOTL since I don't keep up with crapple's products, but why did they start putting out cheap products? First they made a $600 Mac Mini a few years ago, and now there's a MacBook that runs off an iPhone processor for about the same price. Apple worked so hard to establish themselves as a luxury fashion brand so that they can sell overpriced crap, why are they suddenly pivoting to pandering to people that aren't pretending to look rich?
They make iPads that start at $349.
>>108505185apple is a premium brand and has been from day 1. if they were not a premium brand they would have gone bankrupt during the pc clone wars. clearly they are trying to destroy apple by turning into an economy brand.
The farther away from the 90s we get the more painful it is watching you people try to use the 90s to understand the present day. It has been a long time since then. Things change.
>>108505185because very few people are buying full price macs. also their global market share for computers continues to recede every year.>>108505536>apple is a premium brand and has been from day 1>day 1never happened. this "exclusivity" nonsense started during the mac era and help to sell fuck all macs. so little amounts of premium macs sold that they were on the verge of bankruptcy. i love it when this board's collective of street shitting sex offenders just reinvent history. it's always great to read.>>108505633>spambot doesn't understand englishgood morning sir!

>>108505185Genius market moves by apple. Pc’s are too expensive now -> release an affordable laptop that does everything normies need to do
>>108505185if you look at the specs and performance you would have realized those are "luxury" ultra low end devices at extremely high prices
>>108505633No it doesn't.computer parts are expensive and we're in a war in the middle east.Exactly the same as the 90s.
cause apple recognizes that peoples buying power are getting worse and worse, so they want to be the first to take advantage of being the premium yet affordable brand
I suspect Apple is building an AI type service, and they need as many people as possible to use their machines so they have data to train with. The machines can be near gabage tier, but that doesn't matter if they convince enough people to use their AI platform in the future, probably leasing more powerful computers over the internet for whatever their low/mid end can't do.
