Bill Atkinson, member of the original Mac team, in 1983:
I have a dream where Apple releases the computers we want at the prices we want.
Some original Mac team members reportedly cried when it was announced the computer would sell for $2495 instead of $1999.
But lets put that in perspective, adjusted for inflation from when the price was announced in mid-1983:
... and $1999.99 just happens to be inflation-equivalent to $4999.99, the base-model iMac Pro’s price.
Perhaps then we should not wonder what has happened to Apple, but what has happened to us.
I could site the stats that say how the top 1% of earners got nearly all the benefit from the growth in the economy between 1983 and 2018, but you have already seen those stats, and so has everyone else. Yet the revolution is where? Nowhere.
Now go buy a 15” MacBook Pro and shut your piehole, pleb!
