Re:Apple Is Going to Raise Device Prices – But When? on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @10:05AM (#48645179)

I said “$600” in a comment about the Neo. You said “$600” twice here about other things.

One thing is for sure, people consider that Apple hardware starts at $600.

Gabe Newell worked at Microsoft for 15 years - people need to start considering Valve an extension of Microsoft. Their unofficial App Store for games.
