that's just the hardware.

you are not counting the cost of the idea. most of the price of the iphone is composed of the $$$ that went into developing the iphone

it's the same thing with medicines. it takes tons of money to come up with a medicine. but once you have a formula, it's cheap to duplicate the medicine.

The Daily Mail is trash, you illiterate bastard.

It costs less to make than the article says. Apple buys huge volumes of parts and that drives the cost per component way down.

I'm finally starting to get some of that through my thick skull. Just like the cost of the actual content is a small fraction of what a porn site needs to bring in. Why do our competitors charge ten times as much as we do? Development, marketing, regulatory compliance, taxes, etc. In Apple's case probably a lot of marketing cost, just like adult. With Android, software development is done at no cost to the manufacturer and the competitors are all promoting the same platform, so that should mean reduced costs and lower prices.

And yes, i do have a problem with the immigration issues here. Again, so do about 90% of UK people so i don't know what your point is with the supposed "right wing" views...

So your point is what? That's its only worth the materials used to put it together?

garce · 11-14-2011, 02:08 PM

Don't forget about the exorbitant wages and comprehensive benefits that Apple offers all of their workers in the manufacturing sector.

Lykos · 11-14-2011, 02:16 PM
