            I wish they had included the full context of what Tim actually said:
            "We always try to keep our prices as low as possible, regrettably, we always seem to not quite manage to achieve this aim and our prices don't actually end up being as cheap as they could have been. I lose a lot of sleep over this, but the shareholders seem pleased, and we do seem to make a sugar load of profit, so that is some comfort, I guess. "

Other brands e.g. Sony, HTC are now forgotten as people basically buy a phone because of its brand. I saw a kid showing off his iPhone 11 (no case or screen protector, many kids leave these two out just to show off their logos), imagine the day he cracks his phone, he'll be crying all day. The parents are to blame, they shouldn't be spending all this money as a smartphone even under £100 can do the job fine.

                                        I don't get how you can say this in front of so many people, it's like saying "you are all quite dumb so I'll tell you bs you won't understand"...
