There is a big difference. They were a $4 billion dollar company without the resources they have now and they were selling multiple computers with the same specs with different model numbers depending on the retailer.
He also said that a mistake they made with Macs was having a price umbrella that let others come in cheaper.
iPad is cheaper and doesn't support the pencil - good enough for most people - and the iPad Pro is more expensive and supports the stylus and has a faster processor.
Most people understand more expensive = better.
On a side note. I hate Apple stopped selling the 3rd Gen AppleTV for $59. It was "good enough" for people who mostly wanted AirPlay functionality and to stream videos using the included app. Now they have nothing that competes in the ChromeCast/Roku stick price range.
