Oh I'm aware. Apple set the trend just like they did with the pricing of non Apple devices.
We're really not gonna devolve into "Apple is to blame for everything other manufacturers do" argument are we? These companies blow - but blaming one to excuse the others is nutty.
Name a hated trend in phones which apple didn't do first
You're right. Apple charging $1000 dollars for a device had no bearing on capitalism's way of setting prices based on what consumers are willing to pay... Look up ultrabooks.
Sounds like your issue is with capitalism. Fair.
It is, but it's also with trillion dollar companies with slave labor, and no I'm not just talking about Apple this time.
Now you’re getting it.
