What I love are the iSheep threads where the Apple fanbois brag about how much more profit Apple makes for the same functionality and product, many of which components are built in the same factories.

THEY'RE the reason for the profitability. iEvil's balance sheet is getting fat on THEIR dime. Talk about clueless.

Uh, Fred, they may be built by the same contract assemblers, but they are not the same components and they are not the same assembly lines. Nor are they being built to the same standards. It they were, those other devices would last as long and as reliably. They don't. Nor do they have the same level of functionality. You may THINK they do, but I assure you they do not. Quality has value.

That is where your error is.

You seem to think that the same people, the original Apple users, have bought every one of the 1.3 BILLION Apple devices now currently operational in the world. . . without adding any new users. That is not the case, Fred.

Most of us have come from the ranks of PC-Windows and Android users and we KNOW the vast improvement in quality and usability we gained when we moved to Apple products. We know BOTH worlds. You don't.

Indeed. Google is getting fat by selling your private information because you thought you’d save money. Touché
