Sure, I wish Apple would sell a 64 GB iPad for $.01...well no ‘cause then it’d go out of business.

Man it's like I'm reading the DU in this thread. Where did anyone suggest they sell it for 1 cent?

“Man it’s like I’m reading the DU in this thread. Where did anyone suggest they sell it for 1 cent?”

It’s called “reductio ad absurdum”, to make a point. Sorry if it went over your head.

Really your position is the same as someone who says “Mercedes aren’t worth the money”. Clearly they are to some folk, or Mercedes would go out of business. Further, if Mercedes didn’t charge what they do, their cars wouldn’t have the style, engineering excellence, and performance that they do. All that R&D is expensive. Ultimately, some of the innovations even trickle down to the Fords, Chevys, Hyundais and Kias of the world.

I’m sure you see the parallel with Apple.
