$199 (US) in small
$299 (US) in large

apple products are not overpriced
this has to be a loving april fools joke, and it's from the past 20 years as well so it doesn't even contain anything interesting, just 450 pictures

does it have a headphone jack

its pretty obviously specifically for hardcore product designers and meant to be a reference book.

compared to textbooks for college it isn't particularly outrageous other than the fact its limited scope. but it is quite unusual for them to actually put money in making this a thing + printing copies of it.

yeah no, you're not going to ever convince me $300 for a book is reasonable, it has absolutely no real need costing that much

[Nonnel]

the only reason textbooks cost so much is that people HAVE to buy them
no one but a rich idiot is going to voluntarily buy a $300 book

Conan secretly works for Apple and is now getting chewed out by the execs for failing to land a sale

[Lord Tony®]

No one is going to buy this, right? I mean no one has bought every loving apple product year after year.

[Nonnel]

iPhones are useful
a goddamn picture book is not

[Flamecannon]

You can hit someone really hard with a book though

I mean textbook pricing is a problem in and of itself.

Lol a loving textbook would cost less and be more usefull / valuable

[Gytyyhgfffff]

i would buy this if it was cheaper

[Maxwell.]

i would buy this if it was cheaper

yeah, so would I
it's not worth $300 though, not at all and not even close

[Nonnel]

I'd buy it if it were $5 like every other picture book

[Ipquarx]

I'd buy it if it were $5 like every other picture book

I'd say it's worth, tops, $20
they're literally just overpricing it because they know enough idiots will buy it
