Lets also not forget the salaries of most people outside US and Europe.

Doesn't seem to prevent half of the world from buying iOS devices with equally inflated prices.

  • Except Apple laptops usually aren't subsidised by mobile phone operators, offered for free in exchange of a five year contract, where the owner is actually the mobile operator due to device locking.

    • That's not been the case here (the Netherlands) for years since the 'hidden loan' of the phone was outlawed. Yet everybody under 20 aspires to have an iPhone.
