In theory. We’ve had drastically falling prices for computer and communications gear for decades, and it hasn’t stopped people buying.

Desktop and phone sales are slowing down. To be fair, new computers cause old computers to lose their value, buying a new computer works, because you get a better computer. If all you got is the same computer but for a lower price then sales would fall dramatically.

I personally waited 6 years before I upgraded to a Ryzen CPU.
