Wow, nobody was kidding when they say how expensive Apple products are

So, Apple is blowing it's horn now on being a $3 Trillion valued company. Like, yay I suppose...

But then I see why and with my own eyes, where I work, their accessories are ridiculously expensive. A simple little phone stand, was $35. But because it was Apple, it's priced that highly.

A simple clear and plastic looking case from Apple, is $40. With those prices, you could actually buy a budget phone (if you're okay without the features of an average smartphone).

Fully functioning phone vs a stupidly common phone case for Apple phones. That's absurd.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra £1,399.00 - https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/samsung-galaxy-s23-ultra-512gb-cream

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max £1,389.00 - https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/apple-iphone-14-pro-max-512gb-silver

Not sure what you mean by iPhones being expensive... Also Google Pixel stand is £69 - https://store.google.com/gb/product/pixel_stand_2nd_gen?hl=en-GB

And your $1 case will be about the same quality as $40 phone.
