Or you can be an Apple apologist and pretend their prices aren't getting ridiculous.Things are getting more expensive all across the board for pretty much everyone. Or we can pretend it’s just Apple.

You plug the mat in once. You touch a wire one time.Ugh. I'm less angry about the price and more angry that these things are called "wireless chargers."
You still plug them in the wall with a wire and your device has to lay on it. It's not like you can walk around the house and be connected without any wires like Wi-Fi.
Ridiculous price. It won't even work with the most expensive link bracelet band or Milanese loop unless you take the band off to charge.
Yep, takes courage.Holding out on wireless charging for so many years, and then bringing out a $200 charging station?
That's bravery, right there.

That is absolutely absurd given that Anker sells them for $25
I get that it will be more expensive, since it can charge more than one device (most wireless pads are designed to handle one device).
But $99 is more appropriate, in proportion with other single device chargers, not $199. The "Apple tax" is getting tiresome.
It can charge multiple devices at onceBesides having a lot of surface area, is there anything else special about it?
I mean it's Apple. Think of a reasonable price, add 50% to it and then you're still wrong. You'll need to add another 20% to that. It is a charging mat that can charge multiple devices, which is different from others but yeah, $199 seems ridiculous, however I'd assume it's real.

Apple's pricing continues to grow. I'm not imagining it. I didn't say agree with me or you're wrong. But what purpose does pretending something doesn't exist serve?“Agree with me, or you’re an apologist” is basically saying “I have no real point and rely on insults”.
Man. All the hookers and blow with that money.This is how Apple gets you - Grant and Benjamin-ing you. You see this is only $200 and think, "Hey, that's not too much!" but next thing you know you have to buy a new phone that supports inductive charging ($700+), AirPods ($160) plus the inductive case ($70), and an Apple Watch ($330+) to even make the most use of this AirPower device. Next thing you know you are out almost $2000 to make use of this pretty coaster.
I think it also does high speed charging of multiple devices which is what no other mat does right nowDoes that apply to standard Anker/cheap ones with less surface area if you can put multiple devices on it?
Sounds spot on for Apple. Getting so bored with them constantly taking the pi$$ with pricing. Don't forget to factor in an extra $69 for the AirPod wireless charging case, oh and that upgrade to the series 3 apple watch. Otherwise the only thing you'll be charing is your X/8.
Pretty sure everyone complained about the iPhone pricing too.Why is this shocking? iphones are overpriced and no one complains. Overpriced Accessories .....and everyone complains. Can't have it both ways.
