Apple

Why it worked

Product placement

Apple (company): ACTS - the video discusses price increases for Apple products. Removing this would change the video's topic. Apple products (iPad Air, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, Vision Pro, HomePod mini, HomePod, Apple TV): ACTS - their prices are discussed and shown in a list. Removing these would change the video's topic.

Transcript

Not all the rich people are locked in. So Apple raised their prices again. Here all of them right here. All of them right here. Now, they raising them like almost like $100 if not, I'm pretty sure $100 each freaking device. It's more lol. I don't understand what the point is and you already know what the reason is. Oh, you know, AI, blah blah blah, the same thing happened with the steam machine, same thing happened with the PS5, same thing happened with all the everything that's technology is getting the things raised. At this point, I think they want you to put your phone on a payment plan. I think that's the goal. I really do. They don't want you to own your phone, gang. They really don't. They gonna itch it, itch it, itch it, start with $100. Then it's gonna go a little bit more, gang. It's gonna go a little bit more, gang. What can we freaking do? And what pisses me off? They they freaking raised the price on the air. No one bought that phone. No one's buying that phone now. If no one bought it before, nobody's buying it now.
