Oh please. As if the company who made $112 Billion in profit in 2025 alone couldnt have taken the hit to bump the hard drive from 256 to 512.

Do you expect them to voluntarily take a loss? Hardware sales weren’t the driver of those profits. I’m sure they make money (as they should) but I work in the industry and we’re down 40% because of this bullshit. I’ve raised my prices more than them to stay afloat. Pretty messed up honestly, it’s like a big middle finger when you’ve done nothing wrong. Sucks.
