I bet those cost about $50/each to produce. At most. |
I know Apples margin is BIG, but saying that it only cost $50 to produce means nothing.... its like saying that a game disc only costs about $1 to make..... You have to pay your employees, research and development, etc... etc... nothing comes for free... plz think before typing crap...
Also do you know that after they design procesors they are SO CHEAP to produce and they still charge you $300 dollars for an intel i7 (top of the line can go up to $1000 dollars)... and i can assure you that to produce one of those processors is way cheaper than $50 dollars....
Since your a pc gamer you should know that.
Remember they are developing their own microprocesors... And they develope their own Mobile Operative System, something which Nokia or Samsung dont... and that is not free...

Let me guess, you like Apple and its products? Sorry if I offended you, guy.

Thats kind of uncalled for... I personally dislike Apple products quite a bit, but his reply is quite valid.

But still, how is it crap to say that those are made for less than $50 each? Even if Apple spends on research, development, or design, let's just admit that even counting those, they have a very large margin of profits. Really, I doubt Apple spends much on their design team nowadays. Or in their factories at China. We all know the pricing of Apple products is based on brand, and aiming for a lower price would go against ther philosophy. It would destroy their reputation, the reputation that drives their sales.
Kinda like Nintendo's games: They take A LOT of time to go down in price, because people have the idea that Nintendo's games have lots of value on them.
And this goes for every product Apple sells, specially their computers.
