SteamDeck didn’t increase their price with an OLED display. No reason for Apple to do so as well. They can afford it.

Apple wants to use a new dual layer OLED display, this might be more expensive than other OLED displays.

Not only did Valve maintain the same price, they made a bunch of refinements to improve repairability and component accessibility.

This is Valve subsidizing the PC gaming industry as a whole, content to make a shitload ($6b+/year) off their sales commissions that will grow alongside the industry.

Apple on the other hand expects to get paid for the device, the repairs, the software and digital content, and by the developers too.

Exactly. Valve actually cares about their consumers and LISTEN.

There’s no good reason to hike the price, but they absolutely will… it may very well even be a build to order option.
