I had an email yesterday telling me that the Apple One subscription was going up for the second time in twelve months.

It no longer represents good value for me and I can save nearly £100 a year by cancelling and subscribing to the important parts that I use most.

Apple are not alone in increasing prices (in a cost of living crisis) to the point they no longer represent fair value. What is it with companies that they lack basic business smarts?

    I have a synology nas. The cheapest 2 drive model. The nas plus a pair of 4tb drives set me back $380. The time period for roi is pretty significant.

      1. Looking at what you’d pay for 4tb of cloud storage and you’ll quickly find that return of investment
      2. That’s forgetting the additional advantages of faster LAN backups, hosting docker containers & includes a free tin foil hat
      3. If you look at the second hand market the prices are significantly lower (most people sell their NAS having upgraded to a larger model)
      4. Not stuck to a single company that can change prices later
