| You are absolutely correct and in the end it’s all about their profits. How often do people change their computers but on the other hand, how many times you can “influence” people into upgrading their phones? Well many.. |

Usually most people get their iPhones via contract bundles, and they don't get new phones until needed, because that resets the two-year contract agreement where it is not possible to terminate the contract without paying back the full costs to the provider. |

| Yes, another example is the Mac Pro, they also gave up on the workstation market. The day XCode is made fully available on iPadOS, you can imagine where it ends. |

| > Mac mini is probably the highest value for money Mac have ever existed in history of Apple. The base model is great value but the upgrade pricing still throws that out of the window unfortunately. Just doubling the base RAM and SSD capacity doubles the cost of the entire machine, it's as if they're giving the SOTA processor away for free and making all their money on the storage. |
