The prices of Macs have never adjusted for inflation.

[Firearm2112]

Even the iMac back in 1999 was $1200. Thats how much a Mac is today.

apple had a big impact on our economy simply because people allow it too by buying from them

This thread will likely end in a useless flame war where @Builder intelligently defends OS X and someone else will blindly defend the PCMustardRace.

 

All I will say is, I like OS X and Windows. And no one gives a fuck whether you do or you don't.

Im a huge fan of Apple. However I DO think their products are overpriced. They probably made more money than they do now back then. Theres a lot of wiggle room

That's what happens when you have a high margin product

Hang on just a minute!. Making popcorn!

allow me to go rooting out the mac G3 blueberry I have. It still works, and still cost nigh a grand when it was bought last century, so yes, I can agree that macs are inflation resistant to an extent, but it still doesn't mean I shall be rushing out to buy more imacs because they're "worth it".

@WinNut has a pretty large distaste for Apple.

I think it's just coincidence... The iMac really brought Apple back from the dead at a time when they weren't doing so good.

 

But the same could be said for PC and it's individual components... Pentium IIs actually cost more than modern day equivalents back in the day. It has a lot to do with the technology becoming more popular.

 

The technology prices are coming down as inflation goes up so it's giving the appearance of everything standing still in the technology world. You could even say the same for things like TVs and monitors.

As do most people on the internet

[Real_PhillBert]

I have never adjusted for inflation either. I have been adjusted due to increased education, and responsibility though...
