So ummm when is it bursting?
Oh man I just picked up a floor model base M4 mini for $600 CAD in April. I already thought that was a good deal since they were retailing for $800 new. Now I see they’re selling for $1100. Yikes! I dodged a bullet. Hopefully this machine gets me through the bubble.
I’m due for a laptop refresh at work in a couple months. Used to happen every 3 years when the warranty ended, but they extended it 6 months because of price increases. The irony here is not lost upon me. I hope they don’t extend it another 6 months. Or cheap out on the specs. Or both.
Apple users are the least likely segment to stop buying the product even if they increase price by 500$. “Expensive and exclusive” is part of the brand.

That’s why the MacBook Neo is putting up numbers, because it’s expensive and exclusive. /s
IME Apple phones often end up cheaper over the life of the device because they get updates for 5+ years. Not everyone needs a Pro with maxed out specs. They’re hardly exclusive, either; have you seen how common they are? Every other person in the states has an iPhone. They’re often giving them away with cell phone plans. Getting a previous gen iPhone is probably one of the best values because it’s still fast and will be supported for years to come, but it’s significantly discounted.

To be fair that’s a pretty new development along with the M series chips. Before then Apple stuff has always been the more expensive and overpriced choice.
Dammit. Just as I was about to upgrade.
Crazy expensive
Laughs in refurbished electronics
