Apple makes largest profit in history of mankind!

[KingSWRV]

Better margins than the company I work for

Ok but what about the cost of maintaining the empire...

All my iphones had groupme, cisco annyconnect, and then one had Dochalo (secure text messaging). Oh and my banking app. That is all.


I am not an app junkie, most I ever had was 10 downloaded. I don't do social media either. All of my phones are slow in their own right.

Are we talking 4S?

[LovePollution]

Massive profit, still shiit.

[Marronis]

That stock tho

[vsportsguy]

Of course they made high profits.

They sell phones with outdated, inferior 3-5 year old hardware, at outrageously high prices - to average suckers who are too stupid to care about anything except brand name. They use Iphone, wear Nike, vote Obama.


Meanwhile... Android companies sell phones with the newest, greatest technology available in the world, and sell it for cheaper than what Apple sells their crappy phones for.

This. It's even worse with computers. Hardware is so much more expensive in a Mac than a PC...

They make the most profit because their prices are outrageous for the product you are getting.

Prices are fair for the superior experience you're getting overall.

[Dxohamah]

ive heard great things about the sony phones but damn, they cost even more than apple products

They're meh,

I had an xperia before I got my Galaxy Mega and the difference is night and day in terms of quality and speed. It wasn't a bad phone by any means its just that there are other phones on the market (particularly Samsung and HTC) that can do what the Xperia can do but much better.

theres nothing superior about the mac os... its like a real os thats been dumbed down and had training wheels added

[Yettie24]

Android? Has like 90 percent of the market.

Samsung along has more than double Apple's market share.

So you are saying that Microsoft and Apple are a combined 10% of the worlds market share? Get your facts straight bro... Dont come posting made up crap like this to the misc.

[jbone0913]

Well congrats on being only an idiot and not a hypocritical idiot.

Lold, repped

[Enojo]

Had the iPhone 4S, bought an Android in august (Oneplus One) - back with iPhone tomorrow. The Oneplus is probably the GOAT Android for the price, but no - not even close to the fluidity and great user experience you get with an iPhone.

Thats an inaccurate rendering of facts.

[LtGoose]

I bet the NSA is loving this news.

BRB Obama isn't allowed to use an iPhone because of security concerns

[sabrosoed18]

I've had an iPhone 4 since it came out until late 2014 when miscers recommended the Sony z3. Took the plunge and glad I did, fkn love my Sony smartphone srs

Well no, iPhone still competes with Android

THe important thing to consider brahs is that Apple makes software AND hardware, Microsoft and Android only deal with software mainly.

In other words, Apple's Profit > Microsoft/Google because average price of Applie iPhone/Mac is about $1,000, Micrsofot Windows or Android is about $90

Thus Microsoft > Apple long term because of Microsoft's leaner capabilities

[Stryfe14]

Owned AAPL since 04, please keep sending money into my personal ATM kthx.

Bring production to the USA!

[DiddlemeDrogba]

HTC designer sure deserves his salary Most of the Samsung devices look cheap as fuk (ex. Note 4, Note 3 and the black editions). The LG G3 looks more classy too, Xperia Z3 as well..

Lol at Islam being level with Christianity and Judaism in terms of extremism. What kind of fuking chart is this?

You're gay

[MrDeafMuscle]

I think some of you guys are forgetting how integrated Apple products are. Stop focusing on the phone and focus on the bigger picture. When you do that, you will see why people favor Apple. I was just like you guys until I got apple products a few years ago which changed my whole viewpoint on Apple.

The only way to get a quality non-apple computer that won't break or slow down ever is to get a customized pc.

Do you realize that is the key to any successful product in today's world?






Right?

Which runs faster.

I always lol when people quote their phone specs like it means something, the only thing that matters is real world results.

Specs can be deceiving because the actual data of the item itself plays a very small roll in its over all performance. Its deliberately that way to fool people with no computer experience (most people) into thinking the product is better. This is the main marketing technique of Samsung.

[MAKNAMARA]

Threads like these really disaapoint me about the misc

when u want to hope for lofty thinking behind apples success...you really just get the same retarded stupidity that u would in a buzzfeed article. Except now I have to tolerate all the machismo, arrogance and posturing along with it too

Fact of the matter is this

NO ONE BECOMES SUCCESSFUL BY ACCIDENT. NO PRODUCT DOMINATES A MARKET BECAUSE OF "MARKETING"

If u genuinely do think like this then continue to enjoy the fruits of lower to middle management...because you'll be the very last fukking person your company will call when they need a legitimate solution which isnt some dumbfukk pencil pusher telling his boss the reason for increasingly dissapointing earning calls are merely because "our competitors customers are all sheep waaaaah"

What the fukk happened to the "customer is always right"???

Apple provided a solid quality product, with the right finish and the right software ecosystem. The fact that they're producing larger margins when half of Samsungs offerings are literally cheap plastic (I should know, I own two) is rather worrying. Also the "marketing" excuse doesnt work as they have been replicating the same success in markets which wouldnt even seem to be susceptible to the same western frenzy in which Apple products find themselves in.

[MAKNAMARA]

Lol at Islam being level with Christianity and Judaism in terms of extremism. What kind of fuking chart is this?

One made by a complete fukking tool

Also funny how Judaism is higher than christianity and islam is second lowest...

yeah letgs pretend as if violent wahabbism hasnt been exported across the world for vulnerable betas to take up and use as an excuse for blowing people up

fukkin liberal fukktards I swear

And whats amusing is these people actually pretend as if they're the clued up ones

Idiots still not learning optimization will always mean more than raw specs

Hence why Halo 3 and 4 look worlds different yet came out on the same hardware...also the same reason why I can max certain gfx cards on crysis 3 and it still looks like a piece of chit

[Joheds]

I kind of like Iphone just because of the simplicity and slick design. I would love to switch to Samsung/HTC or whatever (HTC I might actually consider) but I just find them less... appealing to the eye

[LazyBro]

Complete and utter bullchit. I had a couple of video editing jobs when I was younger and worked on both OS's. Windows is slow as hell and would constantly have to be restarted even though the computer itself had way more updated hardware than the mac pro I worked on. There's a reason why the entire media industry use macs. Not to mention schools and hospitals.

As far as phones. My last phone was a galaxy s3. It was glitchy as hell from pretty much day 1. After 2yrs it was so slow you could barely txt on it. Upgraded to iPhone 6 and it runs 10x better than my s3 ever did. Will never buy another android chit phone ever again.

How is the Playstation going?
