The switch to USB-C is good! Except for all the dongles you’ll need to get there.

And yet, people buy iPhones instead of 3 Mac minis.

People buy expensive Android phones too. What’s your point?

My point is that Apple is price gouging.

Neither one counter example nor whataboutism change the fact that Apple products are overpriced in general (and always have been). Or how do you explain their unparalleled profit margins?

What a ridiculous argument. They make as much money as the market will bear. Anything else would be a disservice to their shareholders.
