I can't even get the EDU discount anymore. Why does Apple dislike customers so much?
Because they like your money more...

Why can't you?
More than likely because they're not a college student and can no longer use the unchecked EDU discount after Apple closed that loophole earlier this year.

sadly i cant afford it and im not selling a kidney for a mac either. AI is gonna eat all the ram, storage and chips anyway and with these insane memory and ssd prices people will probably just keep their computers for 5 or 7 years, maybe even longer. upgrading every few years is starting to make less and less sense. i wouldnt be suprised if discounts start showing up pretty quickly once the first rush is over
Upgrading every few years has rarely made any sense. People upgrade because they want a new gadget. My iMac 2007 lasted 12 years and I only changed it because my iPhone refused to sync with it after an upgrade. You can use your Mac for 10 years without issues. Only when security upgrades run out, you need to be more careful.

If you own any of the M series Mac today, there is no reason to upgrade in the current climate and they all work perfectly well. Written from my M1 MBA 8gb ram 7 gpu cores.

Good Macs and definitely very powerful. Not going to get the new mini. My M4 mini is more than enough for me. Got it at $599. Great value and should last for many years. Don't think price of the new Macs will reduce anytime in the near future.
