paranorman:

hehehehehe... Your mentality is as expected.
Your view from the perspective of a consumer and I am thinking like a producer. Buy what you can afford or what makes sense to you. Your opinion will not stop people from buying the product here in Nigeria, even in this economic loophole we got ourselves in. Even as rich as Dangote is, he has got his own taste: he can't do cheap cars! ..... Maybe you're a student, maybe you still live with your parents. Maybe you're tenant, you will wanna build your own mansion to your taste and you'd probably buy Dangote cement, won't you? Or, would you?

My brother, we are from different worlds, I am a Martian.

Advice: Learn to express your opinion without insulting. 'twill help your spirit and make it pure!
see? Even a simple question as that is tedious for you to understand, i give up Martian ko martial art ni

Apple is making their money, it's just business on their part so if u want to buy it, go ahead...if not, goan rest and stop bad mouthing someone biz...Nobody forced u to buy it...moreover if naira was equal with dollar, we would not be talking about this right now.

What about the money they spent on research and development?

Although, I can't support them on that. They basically just released a thinner iPhone 6 without the earphone jack.

Lol this ya analysis is flawed...I don't know much about production and shipping but I'd assume Apple hot staff to pay, the phone has to be shipped to many places Na and no be for free plus other factors as well.
They'll still make huge gains but not as much as CNN quoted

What's the cost of the software?
The cost of the cloud servers used to store your details?

You didn't add cost of Staff salary, electricity (production costs etc), publicity and marketing and branding.

If you do this kind-of break down for any item, you will end up not buying anything.

Your tecno that you buy N15k-N20k, probably costs N5k—N7k to build with this calculation

You're paying for the brand. Apple is a 'premium brand'. The brand is what seperates the price of a 'samsung' and 'tecno', even when the components are most likely manufactured by the same OEM manufacturer in china.

You do know Samsung Galaxy Note 7 base model is more expensive than base IPhone 7, right?
Re: Why Buying Iphone7 Is A Complete Waste Of Money by Exponental(m): 9:22am On Sep 24, 2016
why bothering yourself? Na by force to buy? Why is the cost of buying land or house at VGC/ Lekki/ VI more expensive than some other parts of Lagos state? You call that waste too? You may see it as CLASS but truly, it's comfort and happiness when you can afford it.

chief go and research d cost of producing drugs and compare to their market price, u'll be convinced dat Apple is still in d Bsc phase of extortion etiquette

That's only true in cases where said drug still enjoys patent right or niche brands. Not so for generics

personally I don't have the capacity to buy this iPhone but why didn't you incorporate the price of designing software for it and logistics. or do you think those things are done using excel workbook.

I wonder, Samsung S7 edge would still emerge as the best phone this year. Even, if my money full for ground I can't use apple product except their macbook
