'Fortnite' developer Epic Games files antitrust complaint against Apple in EU
cropr said:That is a rather silly argument. It is like saying to Epic, you are not allowed to sell in the USA, and that is OK because the rest of the world is big enough
Apple kicked them out of their stores for not paying, in EU they would have been put in jail. -

Apple's new MacBook Air debuts at $999 with 256GB storage, quad-core options
GeorgeBMac said:But most people can't...
Meanwhile other manufacturers provide lots of different options to meet different needs and price points.
Very good; that means people can choose and it reinforces my previous point: Apple charging 10 or 1000€ is not "robbery", it's "trade". -
Apple's new MacBook Air debuts at $999 with 256GB storage, quad-core options
GeorgeBMac said:LOL... what subsidy?You can buy a 256Gb for about $50 -- to charge $200 for an upgrade from a $128Gb was bordering on robbery.

No, as I said, since the SSD cannot be upgraded, Apple did the right thing by making the base spec adequate for average & usual needs.
What's stopping you from getting a HP laptop and a 50€ SSD? "Robbery" is when you are forced to do something; when you do it because you want, it's called "trade".
I'm not saying that Apple did wrong, I'm just saying that nothing stopped you before from getting more storage (I am writing this message on a 5 y old Air with i7, 8 GB RAM and 512 GS SSD - I needed more so I paid for what I need with my own money).
Cheers!
