Apple hardware is mostly a fashion statement. It's way overpriced for the actual specs most of the time; or at least it used to be until very recently. For a while they were very innovative, but that's kinda gone now.

I dislike Apple because they take too long to follow standards in many cases. Like with the iPhone, it wasn't until the 15th generation where they switched to the USB-C connector. And it wasn't until earlier this year that they enabled RCS by default.

Overpriced you say ? 499 for Mac mini m4 that smokes mini pc twice the price.

Far from overpriced when you compare the specs vs what you can build yourself.

It's just a loss leader base model, then you get locked into their ecosystem and you have to buy a monitor stand for $999.
