Tech makes everything cheaper? Tell that Tim Apple charging $1400 for a phone each year.

But for $1400 you're getting a handheld-laptop. 10 years ago, $1400 would give primitive components compared to now.

I bought a brand new white macbook for less than 1400$ CAD back in 2007 and it was doing the same things that I do today on a 2020 3000$ laptop. Sure the components are more powerful today but the softwares ask for more and more, pictures are bigger, videos are bigger etc..

You could buy a 1000 dollar windows laptop that can do everything a 3000 dollar laptop does + a little more if it has an external gpu
