I love when he doesn’t speak. So this was a great video. Lol.
But, Apple...$700? Lol. Bruh.

This is brilliant Marketing for Apple! I got the wheels when I ordered my Mac Pro so I only paid $400!
Shhh don’t spread that you can buy them at that steal of a price.

Apple is testing its greed with lots of reward, stop whining about it.
if you want them to change don’t comment on anything they do.
Well, it is a Honda Accord. That’d be like getting server wheels for a generic PC tower case.
You can't put your Honda's wheels on a Mac Pro unless I'm missing something.
The only aura being generated is one of derision and shock.
The buzz being generated is all negative, not at all similar to a rolls royce.
Why oh why consumers give Apple so much commercial through hatefulness???
MacPro is targeted at businesses! The stand 999 USD is NOT Expensive for that branch.
Wheels are ridiculously overpriced - but again, not for consumers.
Do I agree the price for the entire Mac Pro line is absurd? YES!
But I also understand they don’t care about making high volume of these. They are not for us - Mac and Cheese eaters sitting in a futon.
I saw nobody yanking Bugatti or Lamborghini about their prices for cars.
WTF???!!!
chill out.nobody forces you to buy it
I think there's a mixture here of people not understanding the enterprise market where prices and expectations are very different to SME/Home markets, and a reaction to Apple's attitude when replacing the 5,1. Basically they didn't, they created product for a different sector (at a much higher price), and stuck two fingers up to many existing customers. This is one of the reasons many gall at the prices as they have left a lot of customers with nowhere to go - there is no upgrade. It's 'buy an iMac' or 'eff off and get a PC'.

Don't for get flames or go-faster stripes!!

Most of the people complaining about the price can’t afford it and aren’t the target audience. This will be like me complaining that Rolls-Royce charges too much for their cars. I don’t think Rolls-Royce really cares how I feel about their prices 😂
The intended audience for this computer doesn’t care if the monitor stands $1000 or the wheels are $700. That’s a drop in the bucket and they don’t care

Did you though? Honda Accord..... premium brand.... less than $700...... 2 of the 3 fit.... can you pick the outlier?
LOL this was great.
Guessing someone will make a set that'll plug in the same holes on the Mac Pro box at $50 for 4.

....and tried to rip people off with his iPhone cover that was a copy of a Pitaka product. And tried to rip people off by never giving out the “free iPhone” giveaway. This guy is a real Tool.
Not an irrelevant comment, merely a pointed way of showing what a scandalous markup of price Apple’s wheels are.
Your response, however, is the typical hyperbole expected in a forum in 2020.

No, because the car will still be useful for at least another 10 years, unless they find a way to create a software update for the roads that the car will be incompatible with...

Lew and Unbox Therapy is the Logan Paul Show of the Tech/ Unboxing/ Review community. Lews posts used to be- and this is five years ago- bearable and even sometimes insightful. Then he switched to his Talk Show style format, made some very bad choices on ripping his viewers off, then decided all of that was fine. He sucks. He yells too much. His posts are more about him and not about the product anymore. I unsubscribed from this idiot two years ago. Oh, and those wheels? Yea, their too expensive.
I bet you would not spend that much to buy Ferrari Tyres. Wrong analogy! Your Honda tires are comparable with Dell's or HP's tower weels (if there is such thing)
The Mac jumped the shark after the trashcan pro.
Luckily their mobile and tablet lines are still great, hopefully they don’t go to wireless charging though.

Does anyone know where these are manufactured/assembled/both?
Texas?

I’ll be honest. I’ve been visiting this site for well over a decade but if posting Unbox Therapy is gonna be the new norm I’m done with this site
You really think Apple didn’t consider the reaction among the commoners when they were determining the price of the wheels or the stand? We’re not the people whose opinions they could possibly care less about. We’ll buy our iPhones and AirPods and MacBooks. I’m so amused about people being outraged about the price of something that’s not in a class of something they’d ever buy. It amounts to being upset on behalf of someone else.

There are much better ways to spend $700 and still get the write off, like duct tape or air freshener.
