  I think they mean products that are not new to the market, but are still actively manufactured.

    Ah that wasn’t clear to me. I can’t remember any consumer electronics getting more expensive while still in production in my lifetime, although if we expand out to other product categories it’s happening all over the past decade or so. Inflation combined with shrinkflation has been making pretty much everything worse value.

    Remember $5 footlongs, 5 for $5 at Arby’s, or the 10 for $10 packs at Taco Bell?
