Just shows how skewed their profit margins are compared to others, in other words; how overpriced their products are. I know a few people who work in electronics and they say that Apple products yield the smallest profits at retail since Apple themselves and their distributors take a larger piece of the pie.

Regardless of my personal feelings on Apple though; great work and congratulations on a fantastic holiday season.

I don't like how Apple (and many of its fans) tries to paint itself as a "luxury" brand when they use Chinese sweatshops.

Yeah, they use the same hardware and assembly lines as others, this is something that most Apple fans I know seem to be utterly unaware of. Perceived value rules the world!
