They've changed the product configurator.

681: The Price of Your Nightmares

There was a story about this a while of like how you don't pick like good, better, best.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

You just basically go into the configurator.

681: The Price of Your Nightmares

But the way they've made like the clicking of like, you know, you have to like pick a color first.

681: The Price of Your Nightmares

So we won't let you pick anything else.

When you get down to the chip section, they have these sort of collapsing set of round racks.

And I think they've bamboozled me because when you click on the chip, like there's another rectangle that appears where you have to pick like the number of cores and stuff.

Like when you go to a higher RAM level, you're paying the same ridiculous prices you were always paying.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

They just seem less ridiculous now because RAM prices are really high everywhere.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

But the point is Apple didn't actually increase their RAM upgrade prices.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

They were so ridiculous, they were able to absorb the changes or they locked in their prices before and they're getting exactly the same margins they always did.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

I didn't expect that.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

I would have bet with Gruber on this.
