I said it the other time that Apple is the only company that charge 300% Margin , and some mofos were arguing blindly . Apple is just ripping people off little wonder Apple fans are being reffered to as isheeps . If they really use correct materials, as their sheep's claim , how come they (parts cost) are that cheap? They assembled cheap parts Beautifully and people start paying through their noses for it . What a Waco company! Samsung use far costlier money on parts, yet their phones are cheaper .

i aint insulting him, I'm reminding him of who he's confused and retar,ded namby pamby

Ok. Keep it up. U re doing well

People have to consider import/export , distribution, packaging costs and also manpower costs. It's way more than just price of parts involved in assembling the phone. Also profit must be made after every possible costs are payed per piece.

unite4real:


They even forgot to mention operating tax, warehousing cost, insurance, built in warranty cost, shipping, research and development etc. Business is not hook line sinker the way it was painted.

Keep quiet . Nothing can justify 300% margin charged on a phone other than the foolishness of their fans . If they are really that good, why didn't they use materials that wort up to $500? They assembled cheap things and you buy it with your annual savings .other companies that charge 40% margin don't pay taxes ? Shio!

cost of years of research, tax, staff salaries and other things nko?

and you are a rich dude right? I cant be dangote because you say so, i pity your mentality, i dont think so low of my self thats why am light yrs ahead of you, ecclesiastically myopic cretin, buying a costly iPhone is not a measure of wealth, someone who doesn't own a house can own an iPhone7 just for show off, but your peanut sized brain won't let you think beyond your nose.

**** go back, read my post and digest. Does Kim k sound like someone who doesn't own a house? Or you think everyone lives in a squalor like you, so 500k should biuld/buy em a house?. You light years ahead of me? Right there you got me laughing. And where did i say that an iPhone is a measure of wealth? **** If you don't know what 'priority' means, then go get yourself a dictionary. Its the reason why some can spend 40 million dollars on a house, but you'll probably tell me you cant spend #5,000,000 on a house even if you were Bill Gates. Broke mindset.

The Apple logo is about $450.

It is made for the rich.The rich are always extravagant

We complain about the price cos of our kind of economy. The vibrant economy of the whites as a good as buying iPhone for just N200,000 in Naira. It would have a no complain issue if dollar is worth let say N200.


The above analysis isn't what bothers me. The issue is that; why the whites spends cool cash cos of the phone's functionality, which is possible for them to utilize 80%. Most blacks subject their fellows in penury, buy the phone just for show-off.

For most esp ladies planning to buy IPhone 7.I recommend Tecno Camon C9 plus for u. Which is at most 60k. Camera and functionality wise, I bet u can't handle that phone upto 70%. just package it with one of those stylish back pouch and glass screen protector and you are good to go.

You spend just about 60k instead of about 500k.


THOSE OF YOU THAT WOULD OPPOSE AND SAY ITS CHINCO. ASK YOURSELVES. DO I KNOW OR POSSESS HOW MUCH OF INTELLECTUALITY IT TAKES TO PRODUCE A CHIP OR AN IC, FOR A PARTICULAR FUNCTION?


Blacks most esp Nija babes, receive sense in IJN.

Only God knows what that Kitty is passing tru just to get IPhone.
In MI's voice "don't spend ur life to buy money cos u can't spend money to buy life".


Thank me later.

its not about how rich you're its about what you do with your riches, so if i choose to use my money for something productive which is definitely not an iPhone it means i live in squalor and abject poverty, you claim you aint broke in all your posts it only proves you're just a pauper, rich people don't go around screaming I'm rich I'm rich, misplaced priority is what i call it, what an iPhone 7 can do, my phone can do it as well and guess what its below 100k as opposed to a 500, 000 iPhone so tell me what you're bickering about, its obvious what i said is above your level of comprehension, and if it wasnt for nairaland a disgruntled pathetic dimwitted imbeci,le such as you wouldn't be here arguing what you dont know, try to strain your cornea which has been ruptured by garri and glaucoma and read what i wrote slowly, maybe your fried brain will understand a little, duche,bag

Who is this brainless fool? You don't seem to understand business models. Apple is not a market for all. It is for class. Why you dey grind teeth over somebody's success. Them force you to buy? Do you know what it takes to keep such company running? Do you know the meaning of premium products? How many apple products have you find in phone repair shops. Do u understand the meaning of durability? How many iPhone users have complained of hacking into their phones to steal vital information. Do u understand the meaning of security?

If they use materials worth $500. How much will be research and development cost. Do they pay peanuts as salary in Apple? We are talking of the world's number one brand. Why u dey complain. Go and buy infinix or gionee na.

I don't use iPhone but the iPad2 I bought 5 years ago is still going strong. That's quality.

Go and sit down my friend.

You're only paying for the brains behind the creation of the phone

Even if it's sold at the cost price, I still won't buy.

You are just blabbing . Look at the way you insult people over a matter concerning a company which you have no share in ? Talking of using apple products , in fact , I don't think I need to argue with you as it is easy for anyone to claim Dangote online . I wish it is a physical debate now, I know you wouldn't have had the gut to tell me about apple products . For your information, it only on my iPhone I saw 'wifi grey out' . Check it online and see people with same complaint . Meanwhile, a techno bought the same period by my house help never had that issue . You simply don't know much about products , yet you are referring to people as brainless. Kindly accept my sympathy over your foolery . If you know much about Apple , how much do they have in their reserve ? Since you , with much brain work for Apple and you earn mega pay? Why do Apple have much in their reserve ? Do you even know the meaning of those things I'm asking you? A reasonable human being will know that people are just paying for Apple's Goodwill, which is a normal thing in business. In 2009, I had a Nokia N90 prior to buying my then expensive bold 3, is there an man born of a woman that can compare the quality of N90 with a bb bold 3? But the bold 3 was more expensive than the N90. It happened because as at the, bb still has goodwill and never for superiority in quality over rivals . Just go and read some accounting books , you will understand what I mean .

So what do u hv to say about samsung s7 that is built with $255 and sells for $700. I see no reason why u hv the right to tell someone how to spend his money. If it doesn't suit u, then dont buy it abeg!

I never asked people not to spend their money the way they want . In fact, I'm even praying for my own company to be successful as Apple. Spend less, get more than your rivals . I only made an analysis and some people who don't read outside naira land were claiming to know more than I do .

There is so much money to be made in the world.
The smart ones figured out how to be at the receiving end.

The cost of iphone (excluding the proprietary software) is $292. Well, some will not pay $1 for a mad man's shirt but will pay $400 for Kanye West's Jesus T-shirt. Go figure!

Branding is the key.

VictorRomanov:


It wasnt omitted. It's the difference between the production cost and retail price.

Okay, so what's cost of the brand if its not omitted?

This one small!!! When I assembled iPhone 5s that year, it cost about 150 dolls and people where still buying at 600 dolls!!!! If u like preach they won't hear!!!! That's people for u!

Non of you know how many Billions go into R&.

as expensive as the Bugatti Veyron cost, Volkswagen Made a loss on every Bugatti sold! imagine that!

You are just too funny You made my day hehehehehehehe

samsard:
You obviously a bigger fool than i had pictured. Who are you to tell people what their priorities should be: Jesus Christ? Like i said earlier, the next thing you'll tell me is that even if you were as rich as Gates, you wouldn't buy a house worth more than #5,000,000 coz in your small mind, it already has rooms, bathroom(s) a kitchen and a sitting room and of course a duplex or a million dollar mansion to you would be "misplaced priority". Anyways, like you said, wealthy people dont go around telling peopld they are rich, but thats coz its obvious from their lifestyle and it (affluent lifestyle) is the norm to them. Am not so jobless that i'll engage you in an endless e-war. Bye.

yea so busy you had to stay and banter on nairaland all day, everything about you reeks of of abject poverty, from your craving and worship of material things to your limited and incredibly low sense of reasoning, you're a lost cause and trying to get you to see reason is a great waste of productive time, I'll rather teach a pig than teach of a redundant cretin like you.

you wont believe i actually read this joke , in a god-like voice(husky+echo dual voice)

CNN,now that you know the unit cost of production,go and build ya own phone.

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!

This secret you told him, he'd take to his grave... I know that you love him...

vickey4sure:
Where do u think the money they use for marketing comes from? How will dey pay their engineers? Do u even know how much the mental effort put into the phone innovations cost? Do u know how many staffs apple hv to pay their salaries? Tecno cannot bill u such because they are aware the product isnt worth the price tag. There's something called goodwill, its like comparing an Aston martin car to a Toyota car. Thats how business works. No offence intended

Friend you've got to be in China to know exactly.how cheap European Standard Products are. Those whites are extremely greedy take it or leave it.

If Neodymium magnets production is largely championed by those white oaks, do.you think they will as cheap as $5 for a wooping 70mm x 10mm N52 Neodymium magnet?

Never!
