  People buy expensive Android phones too. What’s your point?

    My point is that Apple is price gouging that you countered with a seemingly good deal of a less relevant product.

    Neither one counter example nor whataboutism change the fact that Apple products are overpriced in general (and always have been).

      What a ridiculous argument. They make as much money as the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their shareholders.

        Consumers should buy the cheapest quality product the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their peers.

        Yeah. Well, the whole point since the top level comment has been that people are willing to pay too much for their hardware...

        I give up. Stay happy with your overpriced devices.
