All of the above: you are measuring in fiat (imagine measuring your nephew’s growth with a height measuring stick that changes its length materially in months).

Macs & iPhones: you are conflating luxury goods with cost of unit compute power.

Cars: regulations. See https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a45752401/toyotas-10000-future-pickup-truck-is-basic-transportation-perfection/
