Seems like a conspiracy theory. Apple has years of experience creating products that people love at all different price points (original iPhone was crazy expensive, for example).

If the product is legitimately better than everything else on the market, it doesn't matter how expensive it is on initial launch.

The original iPhone was more expensive compared to other phones but it was not priced like an Apple hardware product for professionals. Between 500$ and 600$. 600$ is about 780$ in today dollars.
Absurd.

You think massive companies don't price their overpriced things with price-elasticity in mind?!
