        How the fuck did Apple manage to be the largest company on the planet doing shit like this? Are Apple users really that fucking dumb?

            And they’re much better at marketing than they are at making computers or phones. Apple is probably the most successful marketing company in the world.

            Not sure “friendly” is quite the right word… you can argue it’s well designed or cultivated users but Apple is anything but a "friend"ly.

            Their UI and UX is shit. You basically can’t use it for many basic tasks without installing a bunch of third party (proprietary and expensive) software.

      Apple loves under ramming (to give a word a new meaning) and forcing everyone to pay for upgrades. The problem is there are always people that buy the base.

        I think the point is to squeeze out a couple extra hundred dollars from customers.

        Apple has long done price anchoring with their products just like in this case.

      Apple’s RAM isn’t as cheap as you might think, because it’s all built directly onto the CPU die. That’s part of what makes its computers so fast.
