It definitely feels like there was a price jump this series with the base model starting at 8GB, so you have to pay a lot more just to get 16
Not really, discounting the 13 inch MacBook Pro that also has 8GB of ram, the cheapest MacBook Pro with Pro chips was and is still $2000. Now the M3 base chip is $1600 for the Pro, and even accounting for the jump to 16GB of ram (nobody should be buying that 8gb of ram model) it's still only $1800.
Then again the 15 inch MacBook Air is only going to be $100 cheaper than the same specs Pro models. (And why they're redundant but that's another story.
I got the baseline M1 14" and it was £1,800. The equivalent now is £2,100
Sure because the pound has gotten a lot worse. That's not on Apple
