After Apple’s attempt at a low priced iPhone, the MacBook Air comes in at the right price for the features I believe. I mean, the 12 MP center stage camera is a win in my book. Anyways, what people need to understand is that it’s harder to make a phone than it is a laptop as a phone has more limited space and needs much smaller components and so that’s why they tend to be more pricey for what you get, if you understand what I mean. Look, they couldn’t build a new phone for the same price as the old SE, no matter how much they tried, but just do basically a performance upgrade and a new camera, yeah that doesn’t cost as much. I’m sure if the economy improves in the next year or so, we’ll see a better priced model e iPhone, but don’t expect it to be drastically lower, either $499 or $529 would be what I would expect.

I wonder how Apple will justify the price come Fall when the iPhone 17 lineup launches… Will they simply just discontinue the 16 since they will be adding a new Air model? I mean, $200 difference between the 16 and 16e is all well and good, but if it’s only $100 difference, then it will make it a harder sell for the 16e unfortunately. I understand the price increase, but I was hoping it would’ve been no more than $529.
