    Anonymous, 21 Oct 2014"Apples global market share is only about 15%" ... moreThe point is that Apple makes massive profits out of just 15% global market share. This simply highlights how great the margins are on their products. I would be excited by this if i was a share holder but not if i was a consumer.

The reason for having it is so you DON'T have to connect your phone to a computer. You can simply plug USB sticks straight into your phone, transfer and copy etc.

      Phones and tablets are meant to be replacements for computers now days. I don't see how its possible with iOS which doesn't allow basic manipulation of files and data.

          So what? And BMW's market share is only about 2%. There's a reason the folks who buy the Samsung Galaxy Core and Micromax Unite 2 don't buy iPhones. Do you need a lesson on market segmentation?

            [deleted post]I really can't believe you just said that. I don't even know how to begin to comprehend that stupidity.
            1) COMPUTING POWER?!!? SERIOUSLY which universe are you from again. The moto x(2014) beats iphones. For the price of an imac you can have a computer that will put 10 imacs to shame.
            2) coding in apple: have you tried android studio (you probably don't even know what that is)
            3) every software available in Mac os x???
            My dad bought a Mac recently and the only reason he switched back to windows was lack of software

            You are probably one of those "Mac is the best coz it doesn't get a virus" kinda apple fans who just need to believe apple is the best.

            Android/windows/Linux fans however are not annoyed by how bad the product may be but more by how superior they advertise it as and how stupid apple fans claim its the best...
            Poor people you say go for android take a look at verteu users ( if you know what that is, though I wouldn't count on it)

Someone who is out of touch with the way the average consumer uses their phone. Ask the average person if they want USB OTG or a file explorer on their phone and see what they say. Most people barely ever connect their phone to a computer if ever. It's like having a cassette player in your car. Nice to have, but not something most people really care about.

                Do you realise that these massive profits are coming straight from i Sheep like yourself with over inflated prices and slipping quality (Apples global market share is only about 15%).

                                  Investors will obviously back off when a tech company doesn't meet the expectation. Doesn't mean the sales were less than the previous period yoy. Reading comprehension...
