06 August, 2012
Even though Apple only contributed to 6 percent of the overall devices, it took home the majority of the profits.

    Well its obvious isn't it. Squeeze cheap Chinese labor a bit more, get the phones manufactured 1/6th of retail price. Then say, Apple is SO GREAT, it makes SO MUCH MONEY. LOL!

              this is the reason why i dont have an apple product...first i can get waht i want on a different device w/out paying more...and base on thier profits, they are getting more on what you paid for...meaning those extra profits are not being spent on your device...but still its up to us consumer to choose...be an intelligent consumer...dont just buy for the sake that you love the item...make sure its worht yoyr money...

                Apple's new Mission Statement "Charge consumers a premium for devices so that we can pay for legal costs to reduce the choice of the consumer"

                    This is an unethical practice by Apple. Apple is ripping people by charging extra. Its my personal opinion but they should earn a reasonable profit. They should bring the price down and sell more units. The profit level will remain the same or may increase aswell.

                            The world begins to flatten. Diversity disappears. There will be much boredom and stupidity around us.
