Even if it is, it’s marginally better, justifying at most a 20% premium over the best Android phone, not a 2x. It’s no longer true that the iPhone is unambiguously better than Android. For a few years now, Android phones caught up, and in many cases surpassed the iPhone, whether it’s the camera, the clarity of the screen, or other aspects. Several years back, Android was bad, and the iPhone was the only good smartphone, so if you wanted a great smartphone, you had no choice but pay Apple’s premium. I’ll instead stick to my old phone, or buy Android. If Apple keeps playing this game, they’ve lost me as a customer. The same thing happened last year when I refused to buy an iPhone 6. In what world does it make sense to pay ₹72K for an iPhone when I can get the excellent Nexus 5x for ₹32K, which is less than half the price of the iPhone? And that’s on top of the already high price of the base model of the iPhone 6s, which is ₹62K. I can buy a 64GB micro SD card for ₹1400. But Apple charges an exorbitant price of ₹10K for the upgrade. Many reviews warn against buying this model, instead recommending the 64GB model.

Then Apple ships iDevices with insufficient 16GB storage, even as they add Ultra HD video and Live Photos and other features that take up a lot of storage. In what world does that make sense? Only in the world of ₹1400 Lightning cables, unfortunately. For so much money, you could buy a Chromebook or a tablet. If you were to buy Apple’s keyboard and trackpad, you’ll spend $230. Whereas a surface to swipe on should be heavy and have some stability to remain where it is as you swipe.Īs if an overpriced trackpad and non-magical mouse aren’t enough, there’s a $99 keyboard, but with half-height arrow keys, which makes for a broken keyboard. This is because the mouse is light, as it must be if it were to work effectively as a mouse. The Magic Mouse is the first mouse that supports multitouch gestures, but when I tried to make one, the entire mouse moved along with my hand, rather than my fingers swiping across the mouse. There’s no excuse for messing them up today. These things have been figured out long back. The first time I used one, I thought, “How can anyone get a mouse so wrong in 2010?” It was as if someone made a laptop with a keyboard that has keys in alphabetical order, instead of QWERTY. It doesn’t fit the shape of your hand at all, so it’s very uncomfortable to use. Then there’s the supposedly magical mouse, for $79. I can buy an Android One phone for that price. Now Apple has increased the price to $130. I use the current Magic Trackpad, which itself goes for a high price, around ₹6000. I’m sure that’s magical for Apple shareholders more than for anyone else.

Now they’ve introduced a new set of Mac accessories. For example, Lightning cables cost ₹1370, whereas you can get a micro USB cable for ₹200 or less. It’s no secret that Apple gouges its customers in many ways.
