Oh, Apple, the trendsetter that had folks rolling their eyes long before it was ‘in fashion’! While Framework is scrapping the bottom of the RAM barrel for its second price hike due to those pesky rising costs, we’ve got to pause for a moment and tip our hats to Apple. They were the original mem-ory inflationists—a club that nobody asked to join, but here we are.
Let’s be real: Apple has been charging top dollar for RAM since before it was cool. While the rest of the tech world was riding the price rollercoaster, Apple was at the front, shouting, ‘You’ll pay for this—and you’ll like it!’ And honestly, can you blame them? They’ve built an empire on being the first to charge an arm and a leg for a snazzy logo.
Now, as Framework jumps on the bandwagon, some folks are starting to wonder if Apple’s ray of overpriced RAM will eventually blend into the mundane backdrop of the tech industry, actually making their prices seem ‘reasonable.’ Spoiler alert: it won’t! But hey, nothing like a good laugh (or shriek of despair) at our shrinking wallets to start the new year!
So, what’s next? Are we all going to start paying a premium for tech nostalgia? Buckle up; it’s going to be a wild ride!
