Iphone is a hype. I never thought it was worth the money that's why I never bought it. No value for the money it costs.

Anonymous, 07 Aug 2012When you guys say Apple is charging "extra" what ... morewhen i said "extra" means "more" and i put it beside the word "profit"...what i mean is they get profit more than what "i think" they should be getting. And thats the reason i dont have an apple product... as I said it depeneds on "us" customers because we are the one who pays for thier item...if you think that its worht it your paying them %77 percent more on what they spend on the device(including R & D/marketing/etc..) then i think it will not matter to you right?

At the end of the day, samsung might make a far more powerful phone but when it comes to being a business, and making a profit, no one can touch the behemohth that is apple. First trillion dollar company? Probably ;)
