why does anything Apple releases come with an expensive price tag? I know the quality is supposed to be high. But, come on.

I can literally get a Audio Technica Headset for that price tag.

Why does Porsche or Ferrari only make expensive cars when you can get a Kia for 1/3 the price?

Same reason.

Interestingly, Steve actually compared Apple to Porsche in a quote back years ago. [0]

Given the quality, Apple AirPods are a steal.
