Reading the comments here its not hard to understand why Apple users don't respect Android or its users..99% of the Android camp are just a bunch of jealous i-haters full of excuses..Kind of sad because Android isn't a bad OS, its the users that make it look like $hit..

In fact, Samsung Note 5 - best Processor (Fast hardware), best Display, best Camera, best Battery, S Pen, Heart-rate monitor and more. Note 5 has the best in every single corner. And Apple still falls short against the Samsung Note 5 on everything. And components cost $440.
iFanboys shameless liars.

Profit = Output > Input
Break-even => Output = Input
Loss = Output < Input
That huge profit means that some ignoramus is overcharged for his/her phone. But millionaires need such people to grow their profits.
Break evens could be a more honest value for money for consumers, though it doesn't make investors happy.
Use what u like, who cares?

are you serious? do you think the profit growing at warehouse? you know company need to ACTUALLY sell those high profit devices.
When S4 was a big hit few years ago Samsung had over 40% profits.

Err no it means Apples makes more money off each device sold because when you buy a iPhone they have a markup of 400%, vs other manufactures which has around 50%, hence Apple users are getting well raped for their money. However lets be fair tho if you have blind followers who wouldn't rip them off left, right, centre and from behind?

If you are a Samsung Customer, be proud that you squeeze the best.
If you are a Apple Customer, think about it!!!
If you are a Samsung Shareholder, frown!
If you are a Apple Shareholder, have party!!!

Do not confuse them with facts, they aren't smart enough to research before posting. Apple is so deeply seated in their minds with jealously, they live rent free in their heads. It has more to do that they will never be able to afford an iPhone... It really makes them angry for some reason.

Samsung's RRP of $800-900 is simply that - recommended pricing. Their phones will quickly get price slashes in order to boost sales volumes, hence why they simply cannot earn the same amount of profit. They are not a premium brand. Simple as that.

The 32GB Samsung Note 5 device components cost more than $450, And Edge too, But 16GB iPhone 6s plus device components cost only $220. It's a truly cheap crap. 16GB iPhone is garbage, But more sales. Apple phone buyers are biggest fools. Apple products are so overrated and too expensive. It is the biggest money sucking company in the world (Apple) dishonest business. Sorry iFans.
