iPhone SE, Apple Watch SE, Mac mini to name a few.
The SE models are essentially slightly updated versions of older model phones and watches, and they're still a lot more expensive than the actually-cheap competition. Likewise, Dell currently has 18 PC models that are cheaper than a Mac Mini.
They just will not stop their drumbeat. Those cheap speakers that Amazon came out with where has that led Amazon?
The person to whom I replied called them cheap products. They may introduce a less expensive model, but you can be sure it will be profitable and not meant to chase market share.
