Quote from Himagentry :
Yeah but then taxpayers would have to give up another couple billion dollars in tax credits just like we did for Tesla and SpaceX
SpaceX & Tesla: Taxpayer incentives helped build a massive domestic EV manufacturing base, launch reusable rockets, and break foreign monopolies on spaceflight.

Meanwhile, here is what our tax dollars heavily subsidize without a second thought:

๐ŸŒฝ Big Corn ($116 Billion since 1995)
Inferior Fuel: Nearly 45% of subsidized corn goes to ethanolโ€”a junk fuel additive that lowers your car's fuel economy and degrades engines.

Toxic Diets: The surplus heavily subsidizes High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). Food conglomerates pump this cheap sugar into everything, forcing taxpayers to fund their own obesity and diabetes epidemic. (And the healthcare industry loves a steady stream of sick, paying customers).

๐ŸŸ๏ธ Billionaire Sports Stadiums (Over $30 Billion since 1990)
Local governments routinely hand over billions in taxpayer funds to build mega-stadiums for billionaire franchise owners. The ROI? A handful of seasonal minimum-wage jobs and spiked ticket prices, while the owners pocket the profits and taxpayers eat the municipal debt.

๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Big Oil ($20+ Billion Annually)
Despite raking in record-breaking, historic profits year after year, the fossil fuel industry still receives massive federal handouts and tax loopholes for drilling and exploration. We subsidize their operations, assume the environmental risk, and still pay full price at the pump.

๐Ÿ’Š Big Pharma (Public Risk, Private Profit)
Taxpayers fund tens of billions in foundational drug research through the NIH every year. Pharmaceutical companies take that publicly funded research, patent the results, privatize the profits, and then turn around and charge Americans the highest prescription drug prices on the planet.

๐Ÿค– The Big Tech AI Bubble (Tens of Billions in State & Federal Giveaways)
Right now, governments are falling all over themselves to hand out massive tax exemptions, discounted electricity, and federal infrastructure subsidies to the most profitable tech conglomerates on Earth. Local power companies are raising costs on consumers to find the massive infrastructure required for data centers.
The ROI? We are bankrolling power-guzzling AI data centers that create virtually zero permanent local jobs, strain our municipal power grids, and inflate a massive speculative tech bubble. We are effectively forcing taxpayers to subsidize the very algorithms being built to replace them.

Corporate subsidies are absolutely worth public discussion and awareness. But it's wild that we selectively outrage over funds pushing aerospace and clean energy forward, while happily ignoring the billions we spend year after year to corrode our cars, our health, and our wallets.

Quote from muchwow :
No thanks. AI is the reason for the price hike, not a lack of competition. And I certainly don't want more AI in my devices/life.
Actually, this 11th-generation iPad (A16) does not have Apple Intelligence. Because the A16 chip and its associated RAM fall short of the baseline requirements needed to run generative AI models on-device, this model is excluded from Apple's official AI features.So, if you don't want more AI, this is exactly the model you should get.

Quote from chiropteran :
Even if you didn't, it might be beneficial to a have a true competitor for Apple.
He won't do it because there's not a lot of hardware to go around these days. If he starts making mobile chips it would take years and billions in R&D to make it useful. Look at Google, their tensor CPU is Crap even billions in investment.

The news articles on Apple's price hikes mostly only mention Airs and Pros, but it looks like these went up $100 as well.

Friendly reminder these were $218 in "mint" condition from Amazon resale last November. Got one on Nov 20 and it's great ๐Ÿ˜
Cheaper than that! I paid 188 for mine, along with 882 for my M4 Macbook Pro

Best impulse purchase from the middle of night pee I've ever made lol
