    There’s literally no such thing as price gouging with luxury products. People have to stop equating a bad perceived value with price gouging. If you don’t think it’s a good value, don’t buy it. There’s nothing about any Apple product that is a necessity that you can’t live without.

      You’re absolutely correct. Price gouging is when you significantly raise the price of essential goods during an emergency.

      Like selling water for $20 a bottle in the aftermath of an earthquake.

      Apple products aren’t essential goods.
