That's about what I paid for this thing 30 years ago. I know inflation is a thing but how on earth does this calculator still cost this much money?

I think at this point it might be the only "approved" calculator for AP Calc tests, or something like that. There's really no reason they shouldn't be like $30 new by now.

That being said, you can get them on ebay for about $50. People use them a year (or semester) and sell them.

Could be wrong but think it's a monopoly with textbooks and standardized tests

This is actually the newer version. It's a lot faster than the old TI 84's and has color. It's also thinner and rechargeable.

It's been a long time but how much faster are we talking. The old ones didn't really take much time to output results or graphs.

Thinner? Maybe, but didn't look significant different. Rechargable batteries arent exactly state of the art either.

I think my point is more that I seriously doubt that the functionality of the calculator has so dramatically improved over the years to warrant this device still being as expensive as it is, despite any physical upgrades it might have

They weren't very hard to program. I turned mine into a financial calculator so I wouldn't have to buy yet another calculator.

You could also just type notes/answers into them and call up the info later.
Had an engineering professor that would delete our programs before class.
Then an engineer invented a program that mimicked deleting programs.

Commenting for all the unfortunates that had their TI calculator stolen by riff-raff in HS, present amongst the aforementioned.

You didn't have a TI-84 30 years ago, and certainly not this version of it. Maybe you had the TI-85? The TI-84 Plus (there was no non-Plus version) was originally released in 2004 and this particular model was released in 2021. Now, the CPU used is more or less the same, although clocked at 3X the speed of the TI-83 or TI-85 calculators.

I'm not defending the monopoly TI has or the prices, but as you mentioned inflation, if you paid $100 30 years ago for a similar calculator, that's more than $200 now, adjusting for inflation. So this calculator is like you paying $45 - $50 30 years ago. This means they have effectively become much cheaper than they used to be. Should they be cheaper? Work on breaking the monopoly and they will get cheaper. Or, just buy used. There are many excellent options out there, especially after a school year ends.

I remember 30 years ago when I was picking out a graphing calculator I ended up getting a Casio instead of a TI because it was color. It was also in the $70 range at the time and approved for all the same tests as the TI.

Oh cool, that calculator they let us use but we all had no idea how to use it. Sweet deal!
I still have my Ti-83 from back in the day & I use it to balance the check book. The plus, minus, & = keys are fading a bit, but the other buttons look pristine.
