You're talking about the phenomenon where older products, like AirPods from 2019, seem cheap compared to newer ones. There are a few reasons for this:

1. **Price erosion**: As new technologies emerge and competition increases, prices tend to decrease over time. This is because companies want to stay competitive in the market and attract more customers.
2. **Economies of scale**: Mass production and economies of scale help reduce costs as manufacturers produce more units. These cost savings are then passed on to consumers in the form of lower prices.
3. **Obsolescence**: As new products come out, older ones become less desirable or even obsolete. This reduces their value and makes them seem cheaper compared to newer models.
4. **Perceived value**: Our perception of a product's value is influenced by factors like marketing, brand reputation, and social norms. When we see new products with advanced features, we might perceive the older versions as inferior or less valuable, even if they still offer good performance.

The "feeling" you mentioned is indeed a form of psychological pricing bias, where our perception of a product's value is influenced by external factors like time, context, and social comparison. It's a clever marketing trick that can make us feel like we're getting a better deal on an older product!

As for the phrase "" (suì nián fù jiǎo), it roughly translates to "the gift of age." It's a Chinese idiom that suggests that with time, things become more valuable or desirable. In this case, the "gift" is the perceived value we attach to older products like AirPods from 2019.
