They are selling this not because Apple thinks it is a good deal for a regular costumer, but because high-end workstations have to be available for a longer period of time for replacement or exension of a fleet a company already has. If a company buys hundreds of expensive workstations, then they expect that product to be available in the next 4–5 years. They don’t care that there are better price / performance alternatives on the market in that time period because it is more important for them that their current pipeline do not fail because of unavailable hardware. All major computer brands have similar deals, the only difference is that they usually do not make their run-out products publicly available for everyday costumers.
Tbf if you are after performance per buck then I’m not sure Apple would be my first port of call for anything. I mean I watched your review of the new M2 Mac Mini and I was tempted to get one but then I realised that most of the time you weren’t talking about the M2 chip but the M2 Pro version which is double the price and then by the time you have specced up something worth buying you have doubled the price again. So for that kind of money you can get a massively more powerful PC that can also actually play games too. Don’t get me wrong, I love what Apple is doing with it’s silicon, they are amazing machines for the size and power usage, the build quality is really nice and I love the designs too but as I say if value for money is top of your list then unless entry level is more than enough for your needs then I don’t think Apple is where you should be looking.
Apple has the resources to make the unquestionable best tech products in the world and they’re just like “Who cares, let’s focus on selling wheels for 700$ and aluminium mounts for 1k”.
Yeah man you were right about OnePlus. Theyve settled and settled hard. Especially this year. Only 80w charging coming to us. When we had 125w come from thier last device. Terrible. And to think we only get google Samsung oneplus and apple as our main 4 us wise. I thought they’d come harder than this. The 11 is dead on arrival. With the latest ships coming out now.
That Mac pro was a troll. They knew if they priced it that ridiculous only the diehard Apple fans would get it and they could move onto their own silicone at a premium price but at least it’s not a Mac Pro premium price.
@mkbhd You say insulting, I say offensive. 😵
😉
Apple is taking advantage of a generation, their products are trash.
It’s not insulting. It’s just Apple, their customers chose this

And that’s why I don’t buy Apple products. I own their stock, because people love them. People are stupid. So is Apple 😆

Actually they will give you $2,150. Whoever made that video clicked on the wrong processor. Still not much better!
Apple is a joke .
This just convinced me to stop buying Apple products as much as I love the eco system.
$55K +…
Imagine paying 52k for a Mercedes then trying to trade it in a year or two later and the dealership says best they can do is $970 lol
SCAM SCAM
What company makes the bot next to him?
Apple is never fair nor are they trust worthy apple sucks wish we could get rid of them honestly
How long until apple can’t get away with this bullshit?
This is the Apple way 🤷🏻♂️
Cheese 🧀 Grater on wheels.
Apple literally makes a living off of scamming their customers.
That Mac pro was a troll. They knew if they priced it that ridiculous only the diehard Apple fans would get it and they could move onto their own silicone at a premium price but at least it’s not a Mac Pro premium price.
Most of the value came from the Mac Pro wheels in perfect condition🎉
Thats funny
whaaaaaat the fuuuuuuu
Classic Apple. The most anti-consumer big tech out there.
Imagine you bought one of these for full price in 2019 💀
Me to apple fanboys: Congratulations you played yourself
And this is why I boycotted Apple in 2012.
Yep Apple is a jerk 🤣
Will mkbhd review OnePlus 11 , any opinions?
Since when is Apple not overpriced? 🔥
Considering it was the worst deal when it was released, not that surprising
Anything apple is a waste of money
It’s worthless. So for 970$ U are literally just paying for the wheels under a mosquito net.
I thought it was an oversized grater
