?? As in failing to recognize you as a person in some way?
There’s a lot to bemoan about Apple’s product positioning as ‘attainable luxury’. Yet, I find this position confusing and naive.
Word.

...no. As in being rude.
"Nickel and diming", for lack of a better term, is very widely considered rude.
Yes we would! People aren't too dumb to do the math.
If they simply made it a $6k screen, always with the stand, then that's something that would change perception. It would mean slightly less excitement. Probably not much less. But critically, it wouldn't be insulting.
