How can a MacBook Neo cost the same as an iPhone 17e?
I genuinely don’t understand this and I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable can explain it.
How can a MacBook Neo cost roughly the same as an iPhone 17e when:
They use the same A-series chip
The MacBook has a full keyboard, trackpad, larger display, bigger battery, aluminium chassis
There’s physically more material in the laptop
Meanwhile the iPhone has:
A much smaller screen
Fewer raw materials
No keyboard / trackpad
And yet costs the same (or more)
I get that phones have miniaturisation costs, cameras, 5G modems, etc. But the MacBook is still a full computer with more surface area, more enclosure material, and more components in terms of physical size.
It's not even a product segment argument anymore as the raw materials and specifications are functionally identical.
So what am I missing here?
Are they exposing their prices are just arbitrary and have less attachment to reality than before?
