Is the era of the $100+ graphing calculator coming to an end? [thehustle.co]
Porting isn't really that big of a problem, and the math operations that thing does are so simple I'm not even sure if there's need to optimize anything unless they use totally outdated processors from like the 80s.
Sounds to me more about everything else (monopoly, behind the scene stuff, etc) than technological reasons to me.

For the most part people say the better is great but there are still a few who say it won't take a charge after a year.
I spent one summer in Asia where they taught me actual Math and how to solve the graphing point using a simple calculator. The calculator gave only number and never a graph. It has been 12 years and 2 degrees later and I still use the same calculator I got from the trip.
Good luck!

I just like how someone woke up this morning and decided they needed to simp for a giant calculator monopoly using baseless technical bullshit to do so.
It uses the eZ80 processor from Zilog, making all Z80 assembly programs from the previous TI 84 Plus series calculators incompatible

Like I said. Let's go with calculator monopoly as a reason for the prices because that's cooler and doesn't require facts to defend.

Here's a now seven year old article delving into the TI calculator monopoly: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ne...lassrooms/ [washingtonpost.com]
Not much has changed since this was written, other than TI adding color screens, rechargeable batteries and newer flash memory.
since 2000 inflation has been 57% (https://www.in2013dolla
I can't argue the Monopoly as they have most of the market share, but I would debate that the pricing isn't reasonable for them.
This isn't a consumer electronics product it's a niche product with a long road and investment in getting into schools and accepted for testing. Monopoly or not. That's good business and an EXPENSIVE ONGOING SALES EFFORT. Though of course it's easier today.
Electronics hardware has to be refreshed every 5 years or so. I won't get into what product development costs. I know you all think it's free to redesign when things become obsolete every few years.
Also note, calculator sales volumes are TINY. In your article it said 1.6m in 2013 I think. Compared to laptops which sell at $44m per year, 1.35b cell phones sold per year, or 214m TVs sold per year. Any R&D, sales, redesign all have to be amortized over that very small volume.
Anyway, I REALLY liked the article you sent. Great data in there.
Personally I still use TI-89 and TI-92 calcs, or their corresponding emulators on my phone.
Thanks for the debate!
