Comment on Apple’s new USB-C iPhone cables and dongles are predictably expensive

  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.

        I’m glad you give up. I’ll continue to pay for devices that provide me with an appropriate level of quality for their cost. Feel free to use whatever Android device you can afford.
