    “They cared more about their own glory and wealth than they did about what built Apple in the first place – which was making great computers for people to use… They didn’t care about that anymore. They cared about making a lot of money. …They got very greedy… What they should have been doing was making reasonable profits and going for market share, which was what we always tried to do.”

    There’s literally no reason to charge $200 for 8GB and sell 1.8k laptops with only 8GB unless profits and planned obsolescence is all you care about.

    Or to not include NVME 2280 slots on laptops weighing 2kg, when even 1kg ultraportables Windows laptops and tablets have removable and upgradable storage.

    History repeats itself.

    Sure, Steve. The original Mac cost like $7k in today’s dollars.
