Makes sense. I could imagine some cheapos coming to McDonald's and requesting lots of free sauce just so they can bring it home and use it on their frozen nuggets. The $0.35 price, even though its so cheap, prevents this.
Steve Ballmer (prior Microsoft CEO) laughed publicly at the original iPhone’s release price of $600, saying no one will buy a $600 phone. Man, he was wrong. People will buy and pay anything they perceive as valuable- that’s the truth.
True! The whole main stream tech press took the piss! They said who would buy a phone with NO KEYBOARD at that Price! Will never catch on! They were all 100% wrong on every way, now everyone phone copies Apple. 🐯🐯🐯
@@vocalvolla4800 Yea the apple brakes..sometimes they burn the wheels off because they stop very fast, making your PC fly into the wall bending 180 degrees. Making you need to buy a new PC, great idea right? However the brakes pro stops way slower, meantime your pc can STILL hit the wall and bend 180 degrees during that time.
U know why people dont do it Because they are trapped in If you put a cart under the mac pro and use it and later any OTHER damage occurs and u ask the apple care and explain what happened, they will say thst using a third party accessory in ur device caused it to become like this THEY WILL SAY IT BRO...
But you guys won't have the wheels. These wheels are more than just wheels. They are Apple wheels. I don't know about you, but I'll never buy anything that doesn't have Apple in front of it. I bought the wheels as soon as I got the money for it. I'm still saving for the Mac pro though. I'm hoping three years from now they'll still be available.
I agree that low cost devices can make a bad impact on Apple’s luxury brand but if you think that those devices are just for getting them inside their ecosystem. When they are in the ecosystem, people usually buy more Apple products.
@@marcusl883 what’s your point? You don’t have to buy anything extra when buying an apple product. Except a charger but almost all phone brands took chargers away after apple took em away.
apple customer attitude: if it breaks, it must be user error. Can`t imagine apple selling a product that is not fit for service - you are just holding it wrong.
What do you mean that there is only one options for Mac Pro wheels? I can go to my local hardware store and pick up some wheels for like a dollar a piece. Given, they might not fit as well but I don’t think that they’re “incompatible”.
You have no idea how much accessories cost in other countries. In Serbia, Apple’s case for the iPad is $160. The Smart Keyboard Folio is $350 and the Magic Keyboard for iPad is $620. That’s unbelievable in comparison to our wages, wich average $300/month in this country. Just seems funny to me now that people in the US with twenty times bigger wages complain about accessories that cost so much less… I would be so happy for a $1299 Mac, but iMacs start at $2399 here… It’s VERY TOUGH being an Apple customer in other countries than the US.
It's the same here in India. The import taxes are horribly high, and due to the products being considered as luxury items, a GST of 28% is applied which makes it super expensive. The funny part is that this doesn't only apply to Apple, but every other electronic appliance which has not been manufactured locally. A horrible example of which is the Xbox Series X, which through direct currency conversion should cost around 37,999 rupees, but after taxes and everything it is 49,999. Which is even more than my dad's salary
@@nslouka90 no they don’t. It’s clear that they’re apple wheels and you can see it if you look at them. They’re obviously not going to be a shape of a triangle, wheels always look the same
The "they don't have a choice" is ridiculous. I can make a trolley with a slab of wood and screw four retail wheels on it for a total of 20 bucks tops.
Greg your voice is soothing and aesthetically pleasing to hear on videos. You should has it to try and grow your channel. It sounds like an announcer of a game but not too overpowering or fake. I always love listening to your videos.
Steve Jobs - "If you need to use a stylus, you've failed."... Me - "If you need a video explaining why wheels (that are only used on one specific computer) have to be $700, you've failed."
By pricing low some products Apple gave the impression of selling premium products at a low price, for how they did it it hasn't put at risk the luxury perception of the brand...
Next year: $400 pro keyboard(included with iMac Pro and Mac Pro) that has mechanical keys $500 pro mouse (included with products above) that has a lot of buttons $450 pro dock that has a lot of inputs including 3 headphone jacks $737 pro trackpad that distinguishes your left and right hands $256 pro charger that charges a completely dead iPhone in one minute $80000 elevator (wait what?)
bruh! apple hates buttons that's why they removed it with their iPhone X, iPad(thought I think the cheapest one has it), MacBook, HomePod and Apple Watch. The Mac Pro is the only apple product that has buttons. Most people expect apple to go to digital keyboards in a few years and they won't be surprised
There was a kid in San Antonio who invented his own skateboard and wheels. Those exact wheels and the reason why they were made like that was because they were for the highway. When sketching was placed into the Tony hawk games. He took it to another level. The wheels were designed so they can maneuver in any direction at any given time on the freeway.
In the beginning of the App Store, there used to be an app that did absolutely nothing, it just displayed a picture (of a gem?). It cost the maximum price allowed in the App Store, I think that was $999. People bought that too. People are stupid, rich people included.
I use the Apple Magic Keyboard ONLY, and that is not only the design, but the FEELING of typing on that keyboard is really magic. There is no other keyboard I tried, that is even close to that nice typing-feeling.
Well explained. However, you missed the biggest reasons of having the well-engineered and high reliability products. Of course one could say well design includes engineering and production as well but the author seems to focus on the aesthetic of the design rather than engineering (and testing) part of the process.
so you are saying these wheels need high class well-engineering and high reliablity research and development which combines with world class aesthetic design just for 700 bucks? dude maybe you should get off your iLife and get a real life.
Well-engineered and high reliability? Perhaps so, but that doesn't negate the fact you can get the same level of engineering and reliability for quite a bit less

From my experience, Apple users never gives a shit about what phone other people have if it’s not the same brand, but Android users are likely to go nuts when they see Apple users 😂😂
That's because android users know what's best. We get aggitated when we see people choosing the lesser option because of ignorance and then treat it as if it is iNnOvATiVe
Also consider that the Mac Pro is a niche product that still costs quite a bit develop while having relatively lower expected sales numbers vs an iMac or Macbook Air laptop. This is why Luxury car manufacturers wt the highest level of luxury like McLaren or Bhugathi charge so much for the supercars because they know they will only sell in small numbers so very high profit margin is key and rich folks tend to be less price conscious. Appke's Pro customers are less price conscious and thus ok with paying more per machine to help cover the R&D costs.
2:06 For comparison, the same amount of money will get you the Corsair K70 RGB, which is a full-size mechanical keyboard with addressable RGB lights, a wrist rest, and 104-key rollover.

It is ridiculous. But, those high-cost items also keep the company flush with cash so they can do the eccentric things that they do. Some of those things are really beneficial to their entire customer base, maybe the entire industry, and wouldn't be possible if the company were running on typical margins. Savvy players of business chess, those guys.
For my perspective even as an app developer. I find Apple really great at creating high quality tools for helping developers bring high quality apps. So I think the same concept goes to its products
Not to mention intentional software/hardware incompatibility of independent/unaffiliated manufacturers (read non Apple approved). Third party manufacturers that wish to market products that are Apple compatible must be approved by Apple and conform to their standards (this includes price points) or they will not have access to Apple products operation profiles, thus crippling the product for the intended target market. As a for instance, I site the 'Lightning link cables', incorporated into this product is circuitry that, if it fails authentication with an Apple product or is not present, will not work as intended, and this is just an interface cable. This is the walled garden Apple seeks to maintain and they want no competition and this example is an example of how 'all encompassing' this is for Apple. Aside from all that, $700 dollar wheels for an MacPro may seem like a lot, but to someone who ponied up the $7.5k just to get in the game it's likely nothing of consequence. It is all a game and Apple didn't invent it...it exists in all brands as models tend to the top so do the prices for them and all of the associated concerns. This is why servicing a top line vehicle costs more than a midline vehicle for the same materials.
I'm pretty sure the Windows keyboard costs less because it's made of plastic vs the Apple which is aluminum. The added "Apple tax" is due to the Apple having to annodize the metal to get Space Gray finish.

you are not buying the wheels you are buying the brand
"incredibly well designed" - thermal throttles when idle 😂
Apple fans are on another planet
It is ridiculous. But, those high-cost items also keep the company flush with cash so they can do the eccentric things that they do. Some of those things are really beneficial to their entire customer base, maybe the entire industry, and wouldn't be possible if the company were running on typical margins. Savvy players of business chess, those guys.
apple : this wheels will cost 700 dolars
person: *sells his whole house for mac pro full set*
Very well put together argument, a joy to listen to. -One who's fondly watched the Apple ecosystem grow from afar.
For my perspective even as an app developer. I find Apple really great at creating high quality tools for helping developers bring high quality apps. So I think the same concept goes to its products
Yep. I love the simplicity and the design of apple, but their marketing plan is insane
We’re talking about fucking wheels here

You commented on the wrong video my guy
Amazed how many things were missed that go into apples costs and pricing. Felt like more of an opinion then explaining anything
'apple has a monopoly on apple products'
every 60 seconds in africa, a minute passes
Goes to the hardware store and gets 4 plastic ones for 10 dollars.
* laughs in wooden platform with wheels on it *
Props to this guy for making a 10 minute video about 4 $700 wheels
Not to mention intentional software/hardware incompatibility of independent/unaffiliated manufacturers (read non Apple approved). Third party manufacturers that wish to market products that are Apple compatible must be approved by Apple and conform to their standards (this includes price points) or they will not have access to Apple products operation profiles, thus crippling the product for the intended target market. As a for instance, I site the 'Lightning link cables', incorporated into this product is circuitry that, if it fails authentication with an Apple product or is not present, will not work as intended, and this is just an interface cable. This is the walled garden Apple seeks to maintain and they want no competition and this example is an example of how 'all encompassing' this is for Apple.
Aside from all that, $700 dollar wheels for an MacPro may seem like a lot, but to someone who ponied up the $7.5k just to get in the game it's likely nothing of consequence. It is all a game and Apple didn't invent it...it exists in all brands as models tend to the top so do the prices for them and all of the associated concerns. This is why servicing a top line vehicle costs more than a midline vehicle for the same materials.
lets make it simple, if apple releases cucumber for 100$ people would still buy it for sure lmao
“150 dollar keyboard” the custom keyboard community: cheap
when apple be selling wheels more expensive than a freking phone
Amazing video. Love your simplified and well done videos
Bro if you like McDonald's' barbeque sauce we can't be friends ✋
Simple explanation: Just a luxury Apple logo
This guy has the most smooth voice.
I'm pretty sure the Windows keyboard costs less because it's made of plastic vs the Apple which is aluminum. The added "Apple tax" is due to the Apple having to annodize the metal to get Space Gray finish.
