Too expensive is up to each the consumer to decide. If they buy it then obviously it's not too expensive.
13-inch MacBook Pro.
Four year old CPU. Four year old RAM. Four year old technology. ZERO upgrades in four years. Terrible benchmarks.
Sold alongside brand new MacBooks for four years implying the product is fresh.
Sold at $1099 (only $100 off original new pricing four years earlier at $1199).
Most here would be criticizing PC manufacturers for this nonsense.
A little more objectivity please.
Apple is great sometimes, but not all the time. This is a case where Apple is severely lacking greatness.
Apple should be great always.

And we continue going in the same circles for 4 pages now.
Exactly.

I know a lot about business, and I understand this strategy, but I know about what makes Apple great, and this isn't.
So what's the point? We got that Apple "disgusts" you. Now what? Just repeating the same thing every few posts doesn't really do anything more than what the original post does (and in fact it could be argued that it just devalues it all the more it's needlessly repeated).
Well, if you knew about business you'd also know that the goal of any business is profit & not be some sort of Saint being the role model.
being the role model is always a gesture that big corporations are trying to come up with but that's not their goal.
Everybody on the internet knows a lot about business, is able to spot errors in corporate strategy and was the runner-up for CEO picks by the board of directors of the fortune 50.
I have no experience in running corporations with a market cap over 100b lol, certainly have some opinions as a consumer of services if these companies, but would never presume I could run these companies better than the current ceos.
