The thing is even if that were true, which it isn’t, I’d still prefer him with two legs. Especially if I’m paying the amount of money I would normally pay for 50 legs.
I don’t necessarily even begrudge them a profit margin on RAM. Sure it’s kind of a scam but also I guess it’s just the price you pay for convenience. If you want to better price you upgrade the RAM yourself (assuming that was actually possible).
But the markup they have on RAM isn’t reasonable it’s totally insane.
If you went to McDonald’s and cheeseburger was $0.99 and then a cheeseburger with extra cheese was $2 do you think was something was up but that’s essentially what Apple are doing. Cheese does not cost $1.99, you are literally almost doubling the price for a subcomponent
“His one leg is still more capable than regular person’s two legs”
That is exactly what Apple would say, isn’t it

Somewhat stretching the analogy there
They could just sell appropriately specced computers and make absolute bank like they do anyway, but nooo, that would be too nice of them.

Apple fans have a very different definition of the word convenience than I do, then.
It’s so annoying. They have the whole design industry by their balls with their great displays and perfect colour management in MacOS.
Putting more RAM in those models, or just cutting the lower-end models out entirely would do them no harm at all.
It’s always nice to have as many legs as possible. I love legs
Your analogy is looking a bit leggy at this point.
