The last SE was $429. Now it's $599. That's a $259 increase!

Last time I checked, 599 - 429 = 170.  Innumeracy in America.

I did fix it. I agree, innumeracy in USA is a problem.

The last SE was $429. Now it's $599. That's a $170 increase! (edited to correct math)

Keep in mind that the dramatic increase in price was not because shortage due to pandemic but as a result of tariffs imposed by our President Trump. People voted for Trump who slapped tariffs on our imports and the costs are being passed to us. 

Stop calling it "a new low price point" - it's NOT. It's "increased due to tariffs." 

So far, no one has uncovered any evidence of M3 or M4 having interconnects. M1 and M2 had them which are built for Ultra. 

So, either we will have M4 Ultra as a monolithic die or we may have M5 with interconnects which in that case, it may be later than we hope for.

And in the USA, the US Government will manipulate Apple Intelligence to reply that the body of water officially known internationally as "Gulf of Mexico" is instead supposedly "Gulf of America".

LOL! The US Government doesn't proactively manipulate Apple Intelligence results, unlike the Chinese authorities. They can't, so "Yeah but whaddabout" doesn't equate.
Staying on topic would make this a better discussion thread. 

So keeping it there, Apple's Private Compute in China will not be so private. Agencies will presumably have access to all cloud processed user requests as needed.
