I would understand and accept the price change, if M3 would cost less in the same configuration. They really should consider compensations for recent buyers.

Apple should compensate customers that just bought a MacBook Air M2 with 8 gb of ram a few months ago. Then come out with every thing have 16gb. They knew that 8 gb was not enough but still insisted it was. Just doing every day task the memory is always full, and is pressurizing. Then the laptop gets sluggish. This is just surfing the internet with multiple sites open. I have to constantly close windows to do another task. I recently bought a M4 Mac mini with 24gb and the ram stays around 18gm. This is just normal use, so Apple knew that this was an issue and still sold 8gb as standard.

Wrong about what?


Apple would not have put the M4's out with 16gb if they knew that 8 gb was not enough memory. Then charging $200 to increase the memory. They should have offering the base models with 16gb with M1 and M2's.


Wrong about just doing normal task on a Mac takes up 16 gb of ram? Then the Mac is constantly swapping out the memory and slowing down the system.
