On this graph, the most expensive RAM is $12.5 / GB ($400 for DDR5-6000 2x16GB). Apple charges

- $25 / GB ($200 for 8 GB for the M5 MacBook Pro and the M4 MacBook Air)

- $16 / GB ($400 for 24 GB for the cheapest M4 Pro MacBook Pro)

- $12.5 / GB ($200 for 16 GB and then $800 for 64 GB more for the most expensive M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pros)

and Apple's RAM is faster than PC RAM.

I wonder how much price increase it takes for Apple to raise theirs.

Guess that’s the flip side of selling sometimes three to four years old hardware with zero price cut (I know they’ve been doing better in the M-series era)—the price also stays there when it’s skyrocketing elsewhere.

Exactly. Gotten from ‘price gouging’ to ‘not unreasonable’ in a couple months.
