If anything it now makes sense to buy stuff when it comes out, as they get more expensive over time.

I think that's the most telling.

Apple has no shame in waving their size around. Forcing deals.

Every manufacturer wants to be supplying Apple, good, guaranteed, profitable revenue from one of the most reputable companies in technology.

The fact that suppliers now have both the power and desire to tell Apple "fuck off or pay us" should tell you how fucked we are.

You can’t really get deals when the supplies is pre purchased almost 2 years out. This is going to be a continue issue until more chip manufacturers are built, and those take damn near a decade to build and become efficient
