Used them for decades, and Apple's laptops have never really breached the £1000 price point whilst subs have tumbled in price.
As we'll see this week, my conviction is that the price of aerial drones is maintained like much else at an artificially high level; and we can avoid that happening to such things on water from hereon in.
DJI is the world's largest manufacturer of drones, although the Ukrainians do make their own types by the million now that the market is polarised (bizarrely) between those using them for aerial bikini-shots on tropical beaches, and others to incinerate Russians in tanks.
The latter requires a wholly different approach: distributed means of manufacture using basic skills and materials and able to relocate at short notice; against mega-factories with robots and sanitised production lines in places like Shenzen.
Along consumer lines however you'll notice how DJI have avoided the pile 'em high approach of the conventional Chinese model for Apple's more bijou strategy of high prices and high-street stores that you feel under-dressed in.
Hence DJI's Mini 5 Pro bundle will cost you £1,115.
Numbers by iPhone, prices by MacBook.
The screen-grab is from the Mini 5's display: easily mastered, eh?
