So basically, they gouge you more and more at the increasing price points.
What s surprise! :rolleyes:

At the end of the day, Apple are just doing good business (for them), & any manufacturer in their position would do the same. If the people that buy their products were suitably outraged by these figures, which come as no surprise to most, then they'd boycott the product... but they don't & won't.
Max profit for Min costs, it's a winning formula, like it or not.
Yes taking an off the shelf CPU design, off the shelf GPU design, using no doubt the specification implementation of all the interconnects, taking a rather old hat off the shelf TFT.............Quote:

The dev work to get 64GB version rather than a 32GB version working? :mrgreen:Quote:

Just going to copy this link to an Apple is Rubbish text file. I doubt it would do anything to convince Apple customers, they seem so brainwashed by adverts I don't think they are sane any more, but at least I can now ask "why they bother paying 25-50% more for a product with an Apple logo on?" and have a lovely thread + article to provide "proof".
Oh stop moaning and go buy some apple stock, you might get some of your money back.
what do you mean how they managed to superglue 4 iphones together?Quote:
