Adam Kos We like Apple, that's why we buy its products, and that's why we use them. But in certain respects, his pricing policy really doesn't make sense to us, no matter how hard we try to understand it. Here, you will find real pearls pulled mainly from his Online Store, which show that not everything on offer makes sense with regard to the set price.
Air Tag
A clear representative of how absurd Apple's pricing policy really is is the AirTag. You can buy it from him for 890 CZK. But in order to put it on your keys or attach it to your luggage, you need a key ring or a strap. The original strap costs the same as the AirTag itself. But what is calling to heaven is that the key ring made of FineWoven fabric, which has been criticized by many since its introduction, costs CZK 1. So you pay more for accessories for the product than for the product itself.

home pod mini
You can't officially buy HomePod mini from us, but you can get it through many distribution channels. Its price is approx. 2 CZK. Here we want to praise the price, because even if the HomePod family can't do that much, it plays well and many people will find their liking in it. In contrast, the 900nd generation AirPods cost CZK 2 in the Apple Online Store. That miniaturization would be so expensive? Why should AirPods Max cost CZK 3?

Straps for Apple Watch
A knitted pull-on strap, which consists of elastic yarn interwoven with silicone fibers, which also has no fastening or buckle, costs CZK 2. But you will also pay the same money for the Alpine or Trail pull or the Ocean strap, when these straps have titanium accessories - either a buckle or attachment to the body of the watch, because they are intended for the Appe Watch Ultra. The strap with a modern buckle, which is made of FineWoven material, costs CZK 790. Why? No one knows.

Apple Pencil
Apple offers three models of its stylus designed for iPads, when the 2nd generation costs CZK 3. We don't know how much technology it contains, but is it really more than, say, Apple TV? You can buy it with the controller for CZK 890 and it will probably provide you with more fun in combination with the iPad, just like the Apple Pencil.

iPad Pro
The 12,9" iPad Pro with the M2 chip starts at CZK 35. The new 490" MacBook Air, which actually has a display size of 13 inches and already contains the M13,6 chip, starts at CZK 3. And it has a keyboard and a trackpad, when if you want to "make" the iPad a Mac, you have to buy another keyboard for 31 CZK. This will bring you to the amount of CZK 990 so that you can "fully" compete with the Mac. If you also want an Apple Pencil, you have to pay CZK 8. At the same time, the 890" M44 MacBook Pro starts at only CZK 380 more.

Apple is not a charity 🤷♂️
Well, I understand the iPad Pro, it has a hell of a better display than the MB Air
...and you're surprised, you do it yourself...and some still defend it with the feeling that they're buying premium goods...
