Have you looked? I mean, that question is rhetorical... No, you haven't.
You should check out the competition. Samsung makes some great devices, razer makes some great devices. Even Google makes solid competition, though I prefer others over them.
They notoriously sell older components and technologies in their brand new computers.
I have one I got for free that was made in 2020. It's a MacBook Air. It has 8gb of RAM... I don't even know how they found RAM chips that small in 2020. It freezes every day when all I'm doing is running a web browser. This computer was $1,000 at the time it launched.
Apple also holds over 95,500 patents. I will never get why some people defend this crazy company. They make underperforming computers and sell them for wayyy over their value.
My galaxy watch I bought many years ago has this same feature, is cheaper, and looks amazing. I got the "classic" model with the turning frame. It's an outstanding watch even to this day. No lag, great battery, and very bright even in sunlight.
This is especially true right now, when the enormous gulf between the wealthy and poor is the worst we've seen in living memory.
People are struggling to pay their rent, and yet Apple is over here selling this bullshit to people.
