Apple has outdone itself in the “let’s charge 5 times more than everyone else” department.

And they also very seriously claim an incredibly long (for Apple) backwards compatibility list.

Have to wonder why shipping on this is delayed..

Keep this anecdote in mind next time you are about to click buy on an Apple product.
Double check.
Ask yourself: “Is Apple pulling the polishing cloth over my eyes here? Am I sure I can’t get the same functionality somewhere else for 5 times less?”
