OLED is nice to have, it will certainly bring a price hike too. So please release 12.9 Air. The only reason I bought Pro was purely because of the screen size.

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

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.
