To all the idiots? thats a little course for this topic don't ya think.

We all know a company is in business to make money and is not gonna give their product away. All im saying is some companies are a little more greedy than others. Apple has shown proof of that in the past.

Do you know how much it cost to manufacture an iphone in china? $10
Wow you can see the mark up on that huh?

Iphone 4 and Iphone 4s only diffrence is apple added a Google voice type feature.

Also making a Market out of how much memory a phone has is petty Especially when you can't add to it.


Please don't toss up bullsh*t and chalk it up as fact. Give me a single reliable source that says an iPhone costs $10, because it 100% does not.

$207 - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
$207 - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

$207 is a lot more than $10, and a lot more reasonable for a $299 base price.


Get your facts straight before you slather an entire company as greedy.

Also, would you rather Siri and getting twice as fast graphics/processor, or only faster? You act like Apple is the only company to make incremental changes, when in reality it is every company in the world.


Got my facts from ABC that stated the labor(Wow ok $30) cost apparently and not the BOM.
I didn't say apple is the only company that is greedy but they are very eager with the prices of their product. Also none of this rules out the fact that you disrespect other members by calling them idiots? Anyways this is childish... Happy Google-ing you iphone warrior.

Yes, $30 for labor is not Apple's decision, its the chinese manufacturing companies decision. Apple has no say and this is a fact for many companies other then Apple.

Also, yes, i called them idiots because they are. It's like me saying "The only thing Obama did was play golf as president".

marvinhothead1 wrote 300$ for a ipod touch 5th generation

Differences between 4th Generation-

Apples "New Iphone 5"

Differences between iphone 4-

you can case mod your ipod/iphone for like 20$

I can't consider this a rant, and it doesn't belong in this section...
Also your opinion can't change anyones mind. If people are determined to buy apple products, they will buy it. Also I think it's a fair price for a iPhone (with Contract)..... But w/o it they make about $500 profit, but hey, they're making profit... If people buy, no point in discontinuing or decreasing it, unless the price of materials decrease.

Look at the CoD series, they use the same "engine" but with "tweaks" each time. They put less effort in developing games, less time (aprox 1 year of dev) and less work considering they use the same engine.
There's no point for them to take longer, use a brand new engine, and put more hard work because there's CoD fanboys who will always buy the game even though it's just crapped out fast. Same with Apple. Apple fanboys will always buy Apple stuff.
