Apple’s new USB-C iPhone cables and dongles are predictably expensive - eviltoast

The switch to USB-C is good! Except for all the dongles you’ll need to get there.

      My point is that Apple is price gouging.

      Neither one counter example nor whataboutism change the fact that Apple products are overpriced in general (and always have been). Or how do you explain their unparalleled profit margins?

        What a ridiculous argument. They make as much money as the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their shareholders.

          Consumers should buy the cheapest quality product the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their peers.

          Yeah. Well, the whole point since the top level comment has been that people are willing to pay too much for their hardware…

          I give up. Stay happy with your overpriced devices.

            I’m glad you give up. I’ll continue to pay for devices that provide me with an appropriate level of quality for their cost. Feel free to use whatever Android device you can afford.

              I say this as an Apple user: Really, dude? Really?
