That is just the absolute price. You still have the price increase of the inflation but it is off set by the decline in price form the production efficiency.
So you absolutely have to take in inflation calculations to any comparison.
Yep, my point was that - when it comes to electronics - the combination of fairly low inflation with economies due to mass production, competition, diffusion, efficiency or what not, results in a substantial deflation, i.e. a "same" or "comparable" electronic device tends after a few years to cost less (in absolute price).
The iPhone is an exception as the good Apple guys managed - one way or the other - to keep the price constant or nearly constant.
Of course it remains clear that - say - US$ 1,000 15 years ago were "more" than US$ 1,000 today.
So you absolutely have to take in inflation calculations to any comparison.
