They couldn't help themselves. Lol
The last time I have seen something like this was during hyperinflation in east Europe for 40 years ago.
Apple advertising. Tim Cook: "This is necessary." Stock market June 25 morning:
Apple Inc $295.00 -> $278.16 = -$16,84 = -5.7%
Sucks for those who absolutely need those laptops and are also stuck with apple's OSes/ecosystem. Others will get a much cheaper laptop and build a desktop PC separately.
@slws The directions have reversed now.
I think it may be good eventually. Suddenly, other choices are smarter - especially for desktops. At these prices, desktop without upgradeable RAM and storage is just irrelevant. As for a laptop, Macbook Air may do.
