That's one company I wish had been Logan's Runned at 30.

If it had, I would certainly have a lot more money!

They started releasing overpriced mediocre tech products as a joke, but people kept buying them so they just kept going.
Credit where credit is due, surely it must be the longest running April fools joke out of them all.

You should see my setup now

I own three MacBooks, three iMacs and one M3 Ultra Mac Studio

The Studio being my very own personal headless AI Server

Its wild times when Apple is seen as the value option for laptops these days

With the Macbook Neo and its price point, it has basically taken over the sub $1k laptop market.

I know what an apple computer looks like, i can picture the setup just fine.

I never liked Apple products, but congratulations on your anniversary

Yesterday saw the Apple Store closed for updating. New products I thought!

Wrong!!

When it came back up online several products had had their prices increased!! Even the NEO wasn't left alone, going from £599 to £699!

All apparently due to the continued shortage of memory and storage, driven by AI Datacenters buying them all up.

So far the iPhones have been left untouched, but I expect it will be only a matter of time. :-(

You Own: "three MacBooks, three iMacs and one M3 Ultra Mac Studio" BUT you are still looking at the Apple Store

Alas two iMac's now. My 27' 2011 iMac is no more

Does a bear live in the woods? The Pope wear a funny hat?

Ah man, thats such a shame that they increased the price.
Apple used to be so cheap.

Bears do live in the woods by the way, i dont know the answer to the pope question.

That Apple logo has made even more money than the Nike tick logo.

On occasion, both companies have been known to supply usable goods with them.
