iPhone SE, iPad, and the MacBook Air all disagree with you. I feel like this is the cheapest Apple products have ever been. My grandma had a colorful $2000 Apple laptop in early 2000s and you can get a MacBook Air now for $1000. That's a heck of a price decline without figuring inflation.

I wouldn't call any of those low cost.

Only relative to other Apple products might they be considered "cheaper".

Chromebooks start around $150, and perform well at around $400 and are perfect for the grandma use-case

I was pretty surprised at how shit ChromeOS' accessibility features are, when my elderly dad got one, considering their market is basically young kids and old people.

I meant it in response to "you can get a MacBook Air now for $1000". It is the cheapest of the Apple laptops but it's not a particularly cheap laptop.
