Apple's Photo Book of Apple Products Now Available for Up to $300

[macfacts]

Customers were complaining about the new MB pro prices and someone said let's make a Mac book for $300. Tim misunderstood.

Is this book somehow required for a college class? That's textbook Apple!

 

[Jimmy James]

The price is set to make up for loss of profit on the dongle discount.

I would buy this coffee table book if it had legs that folded out to turn it into a table.

No, it needs to turn into a Mac, or iPad.

 

[lincolntran]

Obviously, people who complain about the price have never tried to print 450 pages of quality print lately....sigh...

 

[SMIDG3T]

Are there any words in it at all or is it simply pictures?

 

[dannyyankou]

No, it needs to turn into a Mac, or iPad.

It was a Seinfeld joke, lol

This has to be the most embarrassing thing I've seen from Apple yet. Trying to decide if it beats the $20,000 Apple Watch from a few years ago.

 

[dumastudetto]

No. No they haven't. This is a collectors item. Buy it for $300, keep it pristine, sell it in years for 10x the amount you paid for it.

Exactly right

ill wait for the cheaper paperback.

Here is a review. http://www.businessinsider.com/appl...-review-highlights-availability-price-2016-11

Can we just all stop for a moment and appreciate how pretentious this is?

 

[MallardDuck]

At least this iBook (probably) doesn't crash as often as the other one does!

 

[ForkHandles]

Can't you just get the images from a google image search, whack them into Photos and then get Apple to send you a book?
[doublepost=1479320271][/doublepost]Ah. Silly me, at 450 pages that's exactly what they did !

 

[Aluminum213]

I'll take a dozen please

It's not unusual. Some art books in limited editions and big formats often go for similar prices or much higher.

I would argue that, at least for the editions I've seen at that price point, that you get a lot more for your money. Trent Reznor and Russell Mills' Blood In the Cargo is a great example.

When Samsung copies this will they put an S7 on the cover?

 

[SMIDG3T]

When Samsung copies this will they put an S7 on the cover?

No. They'll put a Note 7 on with fire in the background.

 

[DUIduckSAUCE]

I'm going to wait for the second generation

 

[PizzaBoxStyle]

Just want to know... if I purchase today for $300, will I be able to sell for $500 or $600 in a few years when they aren't publishing them anymore???!

 

[jdclifford]

Wow! $300 for a book!?

** Secretly wants to buy. Awaits reaction from other readers**

Does it come in Space Gray? Does it have USB-C and headphone jack?

 

[dacreativeguy]

kindle torrent link? anyone? Just kidding.

 

[golfnut1982]

Of course its 5 times more expensive than it needs to be...When is the "S" version coming out with 10 more pages and $100 more???

 

[laudern]

I think I'll wait for the second generation. The next version will be lighter, thinner (with less pages) and probably come in at least 2 different colours.

I give it a week, tops, before the hi Rez PDF hits the torrents. Buy a used iPad Air for <$200, load the PDF, stick that on your coffee table instead.
