Apple please reimburse M4 MacBook Pro owners

[Parowdy]

A whole year later? If it was a week ago I could understand but this is absurd. Upgrades always reduce the resale value. This is just part of buying computers and technology. It’s a standard thing people accept

Exactly. If they REALLY cared about resale value, they would have sold their Mac when M5 was teased on Twitter.

I think I already know where this thread is going to.

Should've happened long before 6 pages.

I am one of the many who bought the M4 MBP with 24GB and 512GB the week it came out. And now a year later I feel ripped off. Because Apple is selling the exact same model but it now has the M5 and a 1 TB SSD. Going from a 512GB to a 1TB SSD is something that they usually sell as an upgrade for $500.

On top of that, with this new release it greatly diminishes the resale value on my M4 MBP. Probably dropped by $500 within the last 24 hours. Has anyone tried getting a credit or gift card reimbursement from Apple?

Not even sure where to go with this…
Welcome to the world of tech and computers, I guess?
Walt until you buy a car if resale value is your concern.
I think everyone else covered the rest.

I think 5 months after I purchased my Intel MBP for nearly £3k they said they were ditching Intel. It’s just the way tech works. As long as the company continues to support the product for a reasonable amount of time you can’t ask for much more. Although I didn’t always agree with Apple holding back some features from Intel in the early days.

Yeah, but you know, at least the M4 macbook pro came with a charger. Gotta be worth $500.

Can’t believe this thread is still opened after 6 or 7 pages. There’s no discussion. This is how tech and marketing work.

You're kidding aren't you... Manufacturers are constantly evolving products and Apple is no different. It's been a year since you bought your machine which I guesstimate to be about 25 years in the tech realm. Swallow your ego and be happy with what you have, or buy a new machine.

Hahahahahahah bro you CANNOT be serious🤣🤣

Bro trynna create a loophole allowing us to buy a Mac, then get free yearly upgrades forever🤣

Your sense of entitlement is unmatched.

 

[mansplains]

Literally makes last year's model tank in resale value.

I’m sick of this mentality. Did you buy the computer to use it, or as some sort of an investment, mistakenly thinking it would increase in value? Do you buy power tools with the same thought process

Isn’t the lifetime you had the device enough value for what you paid? Why do you have to get more from it? Have you considered donating to someone who can’t afford such a marvelous machine?

I guess it's a function of MR getting so big, but I'm surprised to see people getting duped by this. It's not even one of his better ones.

So your bored and came up with this delirious thought to see the reply's?
How many cycles are on your M4 MBP? What is the main use of your M4 MBP
Goto Best Buy and trade it in for a Windows PC or the M5

 

[Lihp8270]

Im not looking for a refund but a gift card of a partial amount would be very welcome. I feel bad for the people who bought M4 with the 1TB storage upgrade and now you can get that upgrade included in the M5.

What about the people who bought a 16gb m3 when it was standard with m4?

 

[LeeW]

the week it came out

Don't do that then.

 

[a-m-k]

I am trying to envision the face of the OP and wonder what kind of finacial state they are in, I mean are they part of a family as rich as the Hiltons or Kardishians who assume life has to go their way, are they upper middle class, or did they save up to buy their MBP?
