You can blame laziness as much as greed for Apple's New Year shock

Zero inflation for digital devices

If you look at the price of something digital, you can reasonably expect to get more

for the same price or less.

A good example would be Thinkpads, the one that went into space

a year 2000 T series had a list price of $3,699 by 2014 a T450

was listed under $2000. With 8 times the merory, 16 times the processing power

20 times the disk space etc. etc.

So apple charging twice as much for something just marginally better really

goes against the grain.

Especially when you compare a 2015 Galaxy S6 at $699 with the latest

2019 S10 at $799.
