Nobody seems to complain about the massive amount of profit Apple makes (nor am I complaining). Exxon Mobil makes less than a 10% profit margin on their products. Everybody bitches nonstop that they are ripping us all off so badly, and that they make too much money. People should stop being two sided. If you are going to whine about Exxon Mobil, then you should be whining about twice as much about Apple. |
Another example is when people buy an iphone 4 for either $649 or $199/$299 + a $2000 contract and think it is a great deal; even though an iPhone 4 costs about $187 to make. (it is being sold at a 247% profit)
Then those same people think a home console or handheld system sold at a 1%-33% loss is a ripoff. Sometimes, it hurts my mind to hear people so ignorant.
