Apple has almost always had a reputation of pricing their products quite a bit higher than their competition, and this premium cost is commonly referred to as the Apple Tax. And it can be traced as far back as the original iPod in 2001, which had a starting price of $399, or about $570 adjusted for inflation. And when compared to other hard drive-based music players that sold for around $200, the iPod’s price was staggering. And when the iPhone was released in 2007, one of its biggest criticisms was its price, coming in at $499, or about $600 today, and that was with a two-year contract. And don’t forget the MacBook Air, which debuted with a $1,800 price tag. And that got you just 64GB of solid state storage. So the Apple tax is nothing new to longtime Apple users, but there has been an unusual trend upward in almost all Apple’s product categories over the past few years. And I think there’s more to that story than the Apple tax can account for.

"If it ever happens, Apple's new streaming service will be free for all Apple users." That's just like saying, "This hotel room is rediculously expensive, but at least it has free breakfast."
Vult wrong, streaming services cost $12-20 per month $144-240 a year. Thats a lot of money. I doubt apple will make it free though, i think they will just add it to apple music which already has some documentaries & shows included.

The music kept buffering while other times it suddenly crashed. No way I'd ever pay for Apple streaming services when I can enjoy Spotify, Netflix, and Hulu just fine.

That's why every apple products are incompatible with other platforms. It all makes sense. They are now forcing consumers to get stuck with apple even if the price hike is clearly unfair
Well, the reason why Steve Jobs made Apple's things incompatible in some ways is because you lose control if you let anyone in (an example is the so much fragmented market of Android) and thus can't make sure the user isn't getting an experience that wasn't intended. But guess it's changing a little bit now.
well why should Apple spend time and money making their products compatible with other platforms when they can make money from people buying more Apple products
Well that's good for apple but not for customers.

I can see how our old phones are slow while performing this and that is I am willing to pay extra cash to earn one of these new iPad. But why not an Android device? Please, go to Google and read about how strong these iPads are. All these Android tablet manufactures are doing is to mimic the look of iPad, not the real power of iPads. Most of them get slower just after 1 year or even shorter than that. iPads stay longer, much longer. I bought one 4 years ago and it is still running fast. I'd pay a huge bunch of money for a device to run smoothly for 4-5 years rattan than an Android tablet or phone which could possibly slow or die right after 1 year.
john Biscuit it is not about phone. It is about how crap that google did in the few years back. I wonder how many android phone did last upto 2-3 years.

Even now i still prefer xperia go because old memories. Now everything i can do is just calling and texting. Not even access to email or watching youtube.

There's one more reason I think you may have forgotten about, and that is the simple psychology of premium prices. For some products, people assume the product is better if it's more expensive, even if the component parts of the product are no better than the competition (this holds especially true to things like fashion). Apple has successfully branded themselves as a premium technology company, and so people expect, and maybe even WANT Apple products to be expensive (whether it's justified by better tech or not).
some people are dumb, that's all and they can't differentiate between a value product or an expensive non-value for money product

Their products used to be somewhat moderately priced. Definitely priced for most people to attain. Now the costs of an iPhone seem just for the upper class. It's more of a luxury item and status symbol these days.

A few notes: 1. Apple crossed the line of improving their bottom line at the expense of customer experience some time ago. 2. I’m stuck in the ecosystem, so I haven’t switched to other devices, but I have stopped purchasing new Apple products. My MacBook Pro is from 2011, and my phone is an iPhone 6 (I’ve replaced batteries in both of them - and not by paying Apple). I also have an iPhone SE, but only because I could buy it new for $38. 3. You didn’t mention the hidden price hikes. For example, by removing the headphone jack Apple forced customers to give them another $159 for headphones to achieve the very basic functionality of listen to something while charging. Something that used to be free with the included headphones. 4. I highly, highly doubt the Netflix-like service will remain free for long. Apple Music was free for awhile as well, but now it isn’t.
Isn't n.3 borderline false? The iPhone still includes perfectly compatible earphones in the box. Also, if you want to switch ecosystems you should know that almost everything is intercompatible nowadays, things like calendars and contacts can be exported through standardized formats. Things like notes and emails are either just glorified text files (exportable as, well, text) or just remote services that will work just as well on a different ecosystem.There's a switch to Android website that shows how to do all that almost entirely automatically.
The_Blazer he said while charging
I was in the same situation, but I switched from an iPhone to a galaxy, and from s MacBook/ipad to a Chromebook. Have never looked back and couldn't be happier. I just bought my note9 got a HUGE discount and Samsung sent me a free pair of 300$ wireless headphones. More than 800$ worth of savings/gifts from Samsung.
And don't forget that by not including the dongle in the box with this year's iPhones they are essentially forcing people to buy dongles or new earbuds once the ones included stop working.

Apple has been a lifestyle brand since 2011 and the first iPod.
Constructive feedback: 1. Don't verbally use the xx9 prices. People have long adapted to this marketing BS and almost instantly read $800 when they see $799. It's different though to make quick comparisons between spoken prices, firstly because numbers are typically pronounced with a stress on the first few syllables (FOUR-HUNdred-and-(ninety)((nine)) vs. fourhundred-(and)-nineTY-NINE) and secondly because your brain just tunes out after hearing "ninety nine" for the 20th time. You once referred to the iPhone X's price as $1000 instead of $999. I would recommend doing that all the time. A typical case of accuracy vs. comprehensibility. 2. Don't use fake pictures like Tim Cook flashing dollar bills unless you're explicitly addressing the meme. It's unprofessional, and a lot of people these days sadly have lost the ability to differentiate real and fake. Maybe lastly: 3. The whole thing felt unnecessarily stretched out. You could have been much more concise, especially in the first half. I get the 10 minute magic KZhead number, but if you wanna meet that criterion while aspiring to reach a level comparable to the "big channels", the formula for success is: more information at constant density, not constant amount of information at lower density.

Honestly, I belive that when they don't change their policy or don't come out with something completley new and revolutionary, they will die slowly in the futrue. Apple has so much potential. But it wouldn't be the first time that Apple goes down. Back then Steve itself said, that they need to lower the price of the Macintosh in order to people to buy them. The company didn't listen to him so they got nearly bankrobbed. One of the most important things for a tech hardware company is, HOW MANY PEOPLE actually use their hardware. So with other words, if less people use iPhones and Macs because they get too expencive, they will slowly die.

I would advise people who are locked in those ecosystems and have a healthy mind about it like you to just buy used "older" Apple stuff, until your hardware is all together either unusable, or just old enough anyways, and it is time for you to change, and you saved a lot of money anyways from not having the newest smartphone etc. Then you can jump ship and get your work (in general get your shit done) anyways cost effectively. Problem solved. Get yourself some decent hardware for way less. Maybe on a Desktop or Laptop that has windows on it you install a nice dual boot linux distro that like Jobs would call it "just works" (Ubuntu is a bit bloaty, it is quiet filled Xubuntu does the job well also from Canonical, and Manjaro XFCE is also killing it, but for the bit savy people, has a lot of graphical tools like Ubuntu to). The installation is Child like simple now and you just restart with your new easily installed dual boot system for using all the windows programs that might be necessary, there you have your special environment instead of Windows if you don't need to use the exclusive Windows programs.

Fantastic vid man... very well done.
9:37 One point worth considering that wasn't raised in this video is the conservation of value in Apple's products. With the release of the iPhone X, Apple expressed a commitment to offering consistent trade-in values for previous models, citing the use of materials in the products' construction that hold their value. For instance, the 128GB iPhone 12 Pro costs $999 outright, but a four-year-old iPhone X in good condition reduces that price by up to $220 at trade-in, giving returning customers a better value for their outdated products. So, while it is expensive to get into the Apple ecosystem, staying within the ecosystem is more cost-effective. I'm not saying that justifies the prices of their devices, but it does allow customers to consider purchasing an Apple product in a certain category as an investment if you intend to purchase newer products in the same category as they are released.
GETTING so expensive? They've always been foolishly expensive.

When the Concorde SST was retired, I watched a documentary on its history. British Airways was losing money for years on their original pricing for Concorde airfare. They had set prices to be competitive with 1st-class, SUBSONIC airfare. Someone at the company realized that most of their passengers were so wealthy, their secretary or assistant made their arrangements. The passengers had no idea what a ticket cost (~$2,500, in '84-dollars). So, British Airways SURVEYED THE PASSENGERS: how much do you think your ticket cost? Their answers... DOUBLED THE PRICE. So much for the "exceptionalism" of the top 1%. Apple's customers tend to be, also... from their money... easily parted.
Many proletarians have apple product that they buy with a credit. They are not the 1% but those who like to think they are.
10:00 is that corner broken.
That's the irony, had Air France and British airways charged triple the price maybe we would still have the concord.
Not all iPhone users are wealthy. I know people who save up months to buy an iPhone or they pay every month for it.

I’m keenly aware of Apple’s price tactics over the last few years. While I’m not ready to switch to Windows, I can say that unless things change (and I don’t expect they will as long as Tim is at the helm), my 2011 iMac is (was) my last ever new Mac purchase. I’ll either buy used (less likely since most Macs from the last few years are no longer that upgradable by the end user) or I might go Hackintosh. But yeah, I’m fed up.
That's why I only buy used apple products

Apple is still using cheap Chinese Labour and has made no statement to stop doing so. 2. So what? It doesn't matter if they don't have factories. They pay the pay the people who do the crime. Apple only invested in robotics when Trump nagged at them to create more jobs for the US citizens, however Apple only plans to go fully robotic in US...so they essentially gave the middle finger to Trump and America, by creating virtual no jobs for US while having factories in US.

Apple is starting to plateau. Price is a matter. I didn’t change my phone because of the price. For the first time in 20 years as an Apple user, I’m considering to change my “ecosystem” - specially because I use more and more Google services. Phones shouldn’t cost more than $700 (flagship models) iPad Pro shouldn’t cost more than $1,000 (flagship models)
The Note 9, though with more features than the X line, is over $800.
Well put

Loyal Apple fan here. I hate the Mac Mini. I hate the MacBook Air. I hate the iPad Pro. I hate the Apple Pencil. I like the iPhone. I like the Apple Watch. I like the air pods. As of the next few years. I’m going to leave Apple entirely. I won’t endorse this unnecessary and stupid Apple tax. I honestly don’t think Apples products are good enough to justify the price. I’m a normal person on an okay to good salary in Britain. I probably would’ve bought the series 4 if it was priced the same as before. I haven’t as the price is so high it’s hard to justify. I did buy the XS Max Which I now regret and wish I bought the XR. I think my love for Apple has died. Apple offers 64GB phones and iPads in 2018???? What?????? Apple offers 128gb laptops and desktops in 2018???? What????? I think Microsoft now seems like a better company for value for money. Apple in my mind is now for the 1% of the 1%. I didn’t mind a small apple tax but I’m finding apples current pricing and offerings making me sick. Phone wise I actually wish I had a phone like the One Plus 6. It’s so fast and so cheap. My XS max is twice the price but not twice as good. Laptop wise I think Microsoft and Dell are making some good hardware. I hate the fact there is so little competition in the Apple Watch market. That bugs me. Come on google and Microsoft. AirPods are also on their own and have no competition. The Apple Watch series 2 and air pods were fantastic products. I’m hoping over the next 2 years. There is more competition so I can fully switch away from Apple perhaps to Google or One Plus.
R X Google are just as bad.

Anon 1 Are you fucking stupid? Apple went bankrupt when they fired Steve Jobs and he had to come back to the company to save it, you must be brain dead go read some history before making such stupid statements.
@Anon 1 You won't sell anything if you don't know how to market your products. Steve Jobs was a marketing genius who knew exactly what people wanted for before even they did. This is why Apple's most successful products are reinventions rather than inventions. And Jobs greatest reinvention was Apple itself, a company that he co-founded and was fired from, which almost killed Apple. He then returned as CEO when Apple was on the brink of bankruptcy and saved the company.

At some point, they will price themselves out of business. Not just Apple, but all tech companies. Even the "cutting edge tech" will no longer be justification for buying a new gadget. In reality, these "innovations" aren't truly innovative. We still use the same interface, still the same click, drag, spread, pinch, and swipe - BORING, and still use the same batteries that seem to die even faster than previous generations. And yet we are still fooled into thinking next year's model will be better? I've been over the tech craze for three years now. I no longer buy the latest and greatest when they're immediately released, nor even after waiting three months for the real life reviews. Apple isn't the only company pulling your leg. Nothing is groundbreaking anymore in an age where tech gadgets get updated every three months just for the sake of sales. Honestly, I would much rather spend money on a product I know will give me 10 years minimum of reliable use. But since tech cannot guarantee that, I won't be lining up at stores on release day anytime soon.
I do not agree, let me give you my opinion. These companies really understand price elasticity and I'm sure Apple keeps moving the same or more units to the market at a higher price. They really know what the consumer expects and is able to pay and the second they feel the consumer is backing out they will re adjust. I hope this starts soon but I will not put money on it because with every new model and new price brackets they just keep selling more and more units. I'm an Apple full range consumer and I pay this because I know Apple products last me a long, long time. Consumer demand dictates price. I work for a really big company that exercises this too well. Retail prices are built top to bottom now starting with what the consumer is actually eager to pay for a pair of sneakers and then that way you downscale to FOB/cost pricing. This is healthy because it builds a pull strategy for product instead of pushing product to the market. When we, as consumers, stop paying high ticketed items the prices will go lower. Are we doing this? No. Take cars for example, a Toyota Corolla was always a low priced economy vehicle but as reliability and consumer demand grew the prices also went up to actual prices where a basic model can cost up to $20k! That is not economy! What you are doing is actually the best strategy, buy what you need when you need it, not a minute sooner.
I agree. At a different point. I don’t think that just because people like the previous product they will immediately buy the next one. Which is what companies must think if they’re pumping out new computers,phones,tablets,watches,cameras and way more. I only got a new iPad when my one at the time wore out and was REALY REALY slow. And the iPad I have now has been with me for 3 years. It’s the old iPad Pro, and my previous one was THE ORIGINAL IPAD 2. So I didn’t upgrade straight away.and I’m not upgrading anytime soon.
Fluzz Fuzz nope!? Not anymore, they trying to make themselves look like bmw, audi, Mercedes all those luxuries brand, they sold less but make the same profit...not good neither...so, instead of not buying, why dont we just buy what ever suit you...what ever you can afford...and you love it...the rich will still buy apple and the poor will going to Chinese devices... second, as some one in developing team, i understand that they have to raise workers salaries, they have to created new specs, new software and design which all cost money...every items raise overtime and dont ask why!? Cannot compare something to the past since the value changing through time. I still buying apple products because , I believe 1000 justify at least 4 years when 500 android can only have from 1 to 2 years...so its mean,i have to upgrade every 2 years, same price tho...and nothing guarantee that the mid ranges give you best experience
I disagree with your android opinion. I've got my first Android phone in 2013 for 160€ (about 200$ maybe) and it lasted me for 4 YEARS before I upgraded to the Nokia 6, which was priced 250€ (300-350$). So no, the price doesnt always justify the lifespan of a phone, doesnt matter if ios or android. just take good care of it and itll last you for a long time.
Well it is the best that humanity can offer in the current time with this price We literally cannot make better batteries or different types of screen interface without making them insanely expensive
A iPad that’s bent when u open the box shouldn’t cost $1000. Just saying.
Unruly Masses it’s price is coherent. The iPad Pro is really a powerful device, even powerful than 92% of the laptops on the market, and you really can’t compare one of those crappy android tablets to the iPad Pro.
DeathShadow123 the tab s4 holds up to the ‘mighty iPad’, even though I personally prefer an iPad, the Samsung tablet game has stepped up.
richmanDUDYT for designers and people like that the iPad is better, even counting that Procreate is iOS only
DeathShadow123 that I agree.
DeathShadow123 but every tablet has its own reason to be used for.
Your not wrong tho. But that was 2018. 2019, the prices dropped with their budget iPhone 11 ($699 when first released), and when iPadPro was updated in 2020, the max price for the iPad is cheaper than the 2018 version. Apple is more or less, going to stick with these price range for a while to see how they do in the future. 2018 was apples most expensive product line up of the year. 2020 seems to be one of the less expensive lineups in a while.
now after a year and last presentation I guess we can expect some changes in the apple prices - most of the prices in the last Apple event that were introduced were lower than expected and I hope to see this trend going further.

Those cost more you know. I don't think you understood his statement.
@@falcon6329 like what @Christian Wilhite said, the option to increase storage is not free and 64GB isn't exactly much nowadays
If you use your iPad for media consumption, 64GB is likely good enough. A 128GB Mac on the other hand is waaay too small.
Othynrix I just can’t fathom buying the 256 gb model with a keyboard and pen for $1200, let alone choosing it over a regular laptop which has better software. So what if the IPad Pro is more powerful than the MacBook. I can get the MacBook for $899 during the holidays and it runs Final Cut Pro instead of iMovie. Apple needs to step it up on the software front.
Current prices just aren't worth it to me. Especially with the problems the Macbooks and Macbook Pro have. Paying more for less quality. And their sales numbers are dropping because they are pricing themselves out of the market. Not being able to upgrade your own storage and RAM is a huge problem for me and many others. And the cost of repairs through the Apple Store is just ridiculous. So you make a shit keyboard, and them someone has to pay an arm and a leg to replace it once a year has passed.
I bought an apple watch SE instead of the series 6 because of the price... (6 had just been released back then) So I'm starting to get priced out already...

At least this past year they lowered the baseline phone by $50 and yet made a clearly better product with the iPhone 11, which is $700 not $750. With that you get an extra camera on the back, a better battery life, an almost double pixel increase to your front camera, an extra large screen than their lower priced flagship pro phone, and the brand new A 13 bionic chip! This was the phone that finally convinced me to actually pay their higher priced phones for the first time since me buying and using the excellent iPhone SE. Maybe they are finally coming to see the reality that there is a limit to what people will pay for. I love the iPHone 11, and all that it has to offer. The eco-system that Apple offers is still the very best out there. And the loyalty is there because of the general quality of their products.

Apple lost 10% of its share value yesterday, serves them right for selling people crap for decades.
musclesdude crap? Maybe recently but in the past apple had quality products
you know, here in Russia we have a proverb saying, "the higher you're flying, the more painful it is to fall down back to the ground". this is exactly what's happened to Apple these weeks. when Jobs visited Mossberg at D8, just prior to that, back in 2010, apple has surpassed msft in market valuation. and what do we have today? among the 4 hugest IT-giants of the US market, apple has the smallest market valuation: AMZN 829B, MSFT 826B, ALPHABET(Google) 766B, and finally AAPL 741B. what I also don't like is that apple is not going to lower prices on the markets where avg salary is times smaller compared with American. Again, here in Russia in the regions (I mean except for Moscow and SPB) avg salary of a middle class person is not that high (up to 30000 roubles probably). At the same time, setting price for iPhone Xs Max for as high as 129000 roubles makes it extermely expensive for like most of the midclass citizens. Who do Apple expect to buy such a pricy thing? A few dozens of children of the rich dudes? But this is not enough obviously to ensure good level of sales. People whom I know have changed tactic from getting a new iPhone to obtaining a used one from other people's hands. Or even switch to Android devices. and these are not just fluctuations, this is a tendency I can clearly see. final line: Apple must re-consider their price and product strategies. if they fail, they could find themselves one day on the graveyard of the tech world :(

Part of Apple's strategy is showing the cheapest models with low speed and capacity to convince customers to upgrade parts, thus spending more. Or recently by selling dongles. The shift certainly was obvious under Tim Cook, but Cook managed to double Apple's revenue and profit. In fact Cook is doing a great job at that. So mind that Cook is not about great products, as Jobs was, but about great profits.
Maximize profits and doubling Apple's revenue, Redundant much?
Apple under Cook has doubled its revenues to $200 billion while doubling profit and tripling the amount of cash it has in the bank (now a quarter of trillion dollars).
Hello Swiftful C++ is better
I think that if Steve Jobs was here their would include the on screen touch id.
Hello Swiftful hmm, Apple isn’t making a fortune off of dongles. I think Apple does tier their pricing so that the entry level isn’t nearly as good a deal as the high end. But that’s just smart business
Apple is a luxury brand. It's overpriced for the tech specs you get, but it's the brand and image that makes it that so much more than every other phone.

After 10 years of I phone ownership, last year I switched to Samsung Galaxy S8+. This was the result of reaching the conclusion that Apple is taking advantage of consumers like me by keeping the same design with minor changes and marking it up. Look at I phone 6, 6S, 7, 8. All are very similar in every aspect with a little bit of higher resolution cameras and faster chip. Needless to say the prices got bumped significantly higher and higher. That is how Apple could afford to have nearly $200 billion dollars cash available in their accounts. Unfortunately for the consumers as commented by another viewer of this video, there are plenty of i sheep out there. The part that I am proud of myself is convincing 4 of my friends to switch from I phone to Samsung S8. Now in all honesty, I do miss the ease of use of an I phone. Especially since I still own an I pad. However, I am a true believer in standing up for your rights and defending it rather than letting a greedy corporation like Apple sticking it to me. I hope this will awaken some i sheep out there in order to make a better change for everyone. Respectfully, Ron
