    Not trying to be a contrarian here but I don’t believe just the word “greed” covers 230 dollars for a phone sock.

    It’s cartoonishly exaggerated greed, and the fact that most people will just shrug and go “That’s Apple!” Is part of the problem. Instead of the general populace looking at this, expressing the correct amount of disgust, and watching the shitty company burn to the ground, people celebrate and anticipate their releases.

    Fucking mind boggling.

      Probably like other accessories it’s the manufacturer who sets the RRP, but yeah, as usual, they’re going to be happy to get their cut.

      Tim Cook has turned Apple into the company it is today through that (clearly revolting) ethos.
