The other day I realized that I was paying $3 more for a meal at a fast food chain than I was 10years ago. The same meal. With Apple I don't know their AWP (average wholesale prices). But I know Apple has a history of removing products or ports. They might look at who is using them and how often or maybe another way to deliver service. For ex. the Apple iSight camera was discontinued. It was replaced by the in-housed camera on the Mac. There were 3rd party developers that created software that allowed you to scan stuff (ie. bar codes) with the iSight camera. But overall Apple pricing has been the same since the 90s. Higher end stuff costs more cause they are maxed out.t
I agree with Henny because this practice of charging more is done with a lot of companies. Its like brand vs generic. Making a profit, I'm all for it.
Call Sweetwater tell them your setup and they will help you. Good luck
Fanboy rant, sorry, costs have dropped significantly since computer speeds are up, Apple has been anti consumer ever since, their strive to remove ports and monopolize on accessories, cheaper slave factories in china, frying your batteries, denying shipping out second grade batches of devices with cheaper parts, cyber bullying anyone online who exposes them and btw its against military law and subject to military court Marshall for the head of NSA cyber security to work for Apple or any commercial civilian company, its part of an oath we all make in the military.
And all this talk about google spying and no one wondered why apple is designing all their software to collect info and make it as difficult as possible to erase or remove anything a user wants to erase..
anyway this is clearly not about a desperate company trying to stay above the water, our iphones are fast enough to be computers but Apple did everything possible to prevent us from connecting a hub, keyboard and mouse and hdmi out at the same time and anyone who shares their proprietary chips for accessories is subject to criminal indictments while apple products costing $2 like the usb camera kit are all made by slaves in china, its not me saying all this you can actually google it up, so whats clear is that this is about greed and monopolizing., illegal of course., comments like min usually get removed by fanboys and apple trolls bribed with freebies, but its ok..im not the one saying all this, its all over google.
Im guessing your comment is also to cover the truth up lol
