Apple Reports Largest Profit In Holiday Quarter For Any Company In History

[Euphoria14]

I just love how so many in this thread call the iPhone "overpriced".

70+ million people wouldn't buy it if it was overpriced. Obviously they feel it is priced right. It's $200 with a plan, NOT the $700 that uniformed people keep throwing around.

Yes, the hardware may be making a nice profit, but so many seem to conveniently forget how much time and money Apple puts into making sure their OS is absolutely optimized to make full use of the hardware within the phones. More use than a Samsung or a HTC ever would, even with their "superior" specs, who are leeching off an OS made by another company and STILL charging the same $700 for an out of contract phone. Ever wonder why Apple's "lower specs" and "cheaper hardware" consistently outperforms the vast majority of the competition?

People buy what they feel is worth their money and these numbers just show that iPhone is what people find to be worth it, just like how for some reason people bought tons of Wiis back in the day, although going by profits we all know those were "overpriced" too, although we never seen so much bitching back then about it.

Just like how I love reading people complaining about how they manufacture their devices in these bad working conditions and paying people crap pay, meanwhile we continue to cheer for our favorite console manufacturers, who do the same shit.

Let's just hate every company.
