I’m not a fan of their MacOS based products, but I prefer iOS for the fact that I can rely on getting timely updates. For a good long while. That is not something that is generally true with Android. I’m fine with paying for that level of support.
Last time I looked, no Android vendors provided close to the same level of support.
That said, if I was a business and needed to field in house apps to mobile devices, everyone would be getting an Android device. Custom apps for iOS are a pain in the ass.
Neither one counter example nor whataboutism change the fact that Apple products are overpriced in general (and always have been). Or how do you explain their unparalleled profit margins?
I simply can not fathom the obsession people have with Apple products when they so egregiously price gouge their customers.

Mac minis are $600.
A physically smaller Minisforum UM480XT with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD is $249.
The Mac Mini is a significantly better value.
No it isn’t. Do you need help understanding the numbers you’re reading>
Not at all. The Minisforum is overpriced garbage compared to the Mac Mini. They’re not even remotely comparable.
And yet, people buy iPhones instead of 3 Mac minis.
People buy expensive Android phones too. What’s your point?
My point is that Apple is price gouging.

What is ‘captive labor’ for $800, Alex
What a ridiculous argument. They make as much money as the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their shareholders.
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.
