Apple "tax"?New speak much? You're really making a verbal stretch there in your attempt to switch out the neutral word "price" with the negative "tax" and cast Apple as some big bad villain. A tax has to be paid, like it or not, want it or not, agree with it or not. A price need only be paid if we think it's worth it.
And I think the price I paid for my watch was worth it. There are plenty of other smartwatches out there and other tech by other companies. You don't have to pay any price you don't feel is worth paying. So go buy their products and frequent their website and praise them over Apple for not ripping you off. But don't try to tell me that I don't know whether something is worth my money. I work hard for that money, and I'll send it on what I want and what I like. And I make no apologies for that.
Apple Tax??
I've heard of the "Australia Tax", which inflates everything whether Apple hardware, iTunes, and just about everything else from other companies we buy here, it's the price we pay for having a predominantly braindead and retarded population..... lol
