    Oh I’m aware. Apple set the trend just like they did with the pricing of non Apple devices.

      We’re really not gonna devolve into “Apple is to blame for everything other manufacturers do” argument are we? These companies blow - but blaming one to excuse the others is nutty.

        You’re right. Apple charging $1000 dollars for a device had no bearing on capitalism’s way of setting prices based on what consumers are willing to pay… Look up ultrabooks.
