Would you pay 2-3x the price? That’s the tradeoff…

Given that Apple devices already have 2-3x premium, as long as Apple absorbs the extra cost, people would be fine with it.

This is also why the approach is an "Apple-only" one.

You're suggesting Apple devices cost between two and three times as much as the competition? I'd like to see that competition, so please show us those $280 Mac Mini and iPhone 13 Mini killers. Or, conversely, show us a superior device for the same price. Remember to match point for point all features of whatever Apple device you somehow believe costs 2-3x as much as it's third party clone.

The whole point of the M1 debate is that they aren’t 2-3x the price though.
