    Sanjay Chen, 04 May 2025LMFAO..what a load of nonsense. Profits all about NUMBERS, ... moreIf you had even the faintest grasp of economic theory, you'd realize profit isn't just a raw figure, it's a metric, and like all metrics, it's context-dependent. Financial profit? Sure, Apple nails that. But cultural capital, consumer trust, brand satisfaction, those are also forms of profit in markets where perception drives purchasing. You're confusing balance sheets with reality bro.

      PureOS, 03 May 2025Apple devices are the same since iPhone 11Are you blind or just deliberately obtuse? "Same since iPhone 11"? Did you somehow miss the complete redesign? The iPhone 11 has rounded sides, like a pebble. The iPhone 12 and everything after have flat, squared-off sides. It's a night and day difference even a child could spot. Maybe try actually looking at the phones before spewing such nonsense. Honestly, the level of ignorance required to make that statement is staggering.

      Even if we ignore the glaring design differences, your claim that iPhones have been the "same" since the iPhone 11 is still laughable.

Classic move when you’re utterly bankrupt on substance. Here's a wild idea: maybe they're capable of entertaining nuanced definitions of "profit" beyond "number go up." But nah, that kind of complexity probably short-circuits your binary Apple=Good, Android=Cope worldview.

        What’s hilarious is how your comment confirms exactly what they said: if you have to mentally contort yourself into blind brand loyalty, that's not winning—it's surrendering. You call it a win for Apple, I call it a win for marketing psychology and herd behavior. Consumers using a product out of perceived necessity, not desire, is the opposite of real success. That's called resignation.

        So thanks for playing. You've unwittingly proven their point better than I could’ve hoped.

Profits all about NUMBERS, and that cannot be disputed no matter how desperate you tried to spin it negatively. Apple obsessed fandroids are just on another level of delusion, its truly comical to read their comments ON EVERY APPLE RELATED article here.

I am fully aware of Apple's successes; my personal opinions (read: criticisms) about their practices does not change the facts. Apple did well with the iPod and iPhone and all their variants, and let's not forget the legendary iMacs and Apple II.

                I do not like Apple, but I also understand their significance, which is one of the reasons behind what I posted. Maybe that's too deep for you; most people base "facts" on what they feel is right, thus they're not actually doing the research. I will admit that I have been at fault for this too, but anymore I do what I can to either back up or correct any claims I make.

                              osiristheone, 03 May 2025Seems people continue to vote with their wallets and Apple ... moreWell they make a lot of profit because they sell with a lot of profit. They sell 30 to 40$ RAM for 200$, around 800 $ iphones with 1500 to 2000 $. 20$ monitor kik-stand for 999$. So yeah, they have a lot of profit in comparison to other companies. But there is a saying in my region: It's not stupid the one who asks, it's stupid the one who gives.
