Really? So if Apple had instead priced these cards at $2,799, and $4,999, and $5,999, you might have thought, “These must be
exactly the right prices for these products”?
When I see a something priced at, say, $5,999, I have an entirely different reaction: irritation that a company thinks its customers are so stupid as to think, “What a relief! I thought I was going to have to pay six grand for this, but it turns out I can get it for
only $5,999! What a bargain!”
(Of course, nowadays companies often have to price their products that way just to avoid them being sorted into a higher bracket online. “Hey Siri, show me all graphics cards priced under six thousand dollars.” But the sad fact is that companies were pricing products that way even before the days of online searches. “Buy your gasoline here for only $4.0999 a gallon!”)
