Yeah I suspect they're starting to overcharge for their greatest strength: their software (macOS/Apple suite of apps).
While I used to fawn over their minimal interface and simple UX, they've been adding a lot of unnecessary noise (siri, itunes forcing apple music, cluttering imessage with extensions) to their products. Definitely straying away from their status quo.
Couple this with the fact they purposely force non-compatibility with anything non-apple and you have them becoming the new Microsoft.
They're changing the things that make Apple great and it isn't worth the price anymore.
