Blasphemy!
It’s evident that Apple has changed in recent years when it comes to pricing strategy. Brand new products are often immediately on sale for 10% off from major retailers, which effectively reduces the starting price by $100-200.
Meanwhile, if you like the base model, but want to upgrade either the RAM or storage (an upgrade which would cost under $50 in a normal computer and virtually all Macs until the early 2010s), you’re paying a minimum of $300 more.
An M1 MacBook Air with 256gb SSD and 8gb RAM can be bought on sale for $750, but if you want to up the storage and RAM to to 1tb and 16gb, your only option (aside from buying pre-owned) is to pay over twice the price from Apple ($1600)
And at THAT point, you’re paying the MSRP for the latest M3 MBP, which is now on sale for $200 less, at $1400. So you might as well get the M3 MBP, but wait!! You want that 1tb of storage and more RAM? Ah sorry, your only option is to order that from Apple for $2000.
It just makes little sense from a consumer perspective and it makes it difficult to make a purchase without feeling screwed in some capacity.
