Ridiculous. First Mac mini was a 1.25GHz G4 with 256MB RAM in 2005 for $499. There have many models since there, ranging from $499 to $799 for the base model. 2018 was indeed the highest at $799, but that was mainly Intel's fault, and Apple's poor refresh timing. Current M4 mini starts at $599, which is over $1000 in 2005 dollars, so the value has largely increased through the model's entire history, especially once we hit the Apple Silicon era.

The Mac Mini starts at $800 now. How many false information will you include in your comments?

That's not how money works

You can say all you want and you'll come back to this comment in 2028 when the price is set at +100 or +150.
