Completely agree! I am using an iPhone 13 right now to write this comment. It cost me $325.87 with taxes. There’s no way I’m buying accessories for this one or downloading paid apps. I will sell it off once I don’t need it. I use it for work. This will be the only and last iPhone I will own. I already have a Samsung S23 (personal use) and the Google Pixel 8 for traveling and gaming. It’s perfect for both and I don’t have to worry about draining my Samsung’s battery on the GP8. $1,300 dollars per iPhone? No way! Have you seen the rental, gasoline and food prices? 💸💸💸💸💸

[@katokianimation]

Yeah, why are people complaining about prices anyway, what are they, poor? Just sell one of your unused rolex and spend it on 0,4 usd worth of ram then go under Android videos and trash them to feel better about your life choises.

They started this with the iPod. When the iPod came out, I was playing music on my PDA using a CF memory card. Flash memory prices were dropping so it made sense to buy new CF cards for more capacity as needed. But with the iPod you had to buy a whole new music player no matter if it was HD based or flash. The business model was hugely successful. They've been milking this for ages.

[@zark4711]

Super good. As a long time Apple Fanboy (80ies) I was not aware of some things you mentioned. Great research. For the Intel vs M4: well it is a different architecture so a lot on the board is different. But for the point of illustration: yes, it would be nice to swap the CPU for a faster one of the same architecture at a later point. I did that back for my PowerPC chips in the Macs.

[@AyaWetts]

its like 85% of the cost on the whole board ... and so much wasted space trying to make it big enough for sockets. Even new Intel chips made similarly are not replaceable or upgradable.

[@trevorelvis1355]

Hi fanboi

[@username7763]

@@AyaWetts This is not a difficult problem to solve though. Instead of swapping out the CPU, swap out the logic board. Support taking your M1 Mac and put a M4 logic board in. Also, Apple computers don't have to be so super thin all the time. Make portable computer where space is at a premium and then make desktops that you can upgrade. None of this is done because Apple makes money off of people disposing of their products and buying all new again.

[@AyaWetts]

@@username7763 You are in the minority about making small thin and light computers. Most people love that. Apple knows it cannot please everyone, so it chooses its audience where it thinks it can make the most money. New designs being able to fit in the old cases is very limiting. It sounds like Framework laptops are for you, but even they struggle, and aren't that popular.

[@username7763]

@AyaWetts but Apple could do that. They choose not to. And yeah I don't choose their limiting products either.

Macbooks used to be absolute garbage. My 2008 Macbook with 1 GB RAM barely lasted 6 years. Meanwhile my 10 year old Lenovo laptop with 8 GB RAM (still competitive with 2023 Macbooks of same price) only needed a hard drive change after it got corrupted after 9 years and I replaced it with an SSD for a world of difference in startup speed (of Windows and every app). That Macbook's battery and charger broke multiple times while my laptop's battery and charger still work, although the battery has never been good and only lasts like 2 years. Modern Macbooks are obviously objectively better, but I think even relatively speaking and last long with their M chips.

It is a misunderstanding, Apple knows that their AI is not ready yet. So they didn’t include iPhone 15. It will be many more years before AI is truly useful and by then it will be time to upgrade the 15. Then why include it for iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and iPhone 16s you might ask.
