That’s why apple products are so expensive.
No, not really. The Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy Edge when they were first released as Samsung's flagship phones were MORE expensive than any of Apple's flagship iPhones.
If you compare Apple's Macs to similar placed computers from other top end computers from other brand name makers, you'll find that the Macs are competitive in price and are often less expensive. . . and always offer more included software, and far better ratings on their customer service. Apple computers have a far better repair rate than the competition as well, and generally last longer as well. Add in their resale value at end-of-use, and you will find that the total Cost of Ownership, in every study, the Macs come out far less expensive over the life of the computer than the competition. IBM has discovered that only 5% of their Corporation's users with Macs every call for technical support, compared with 40% of the users with Windows computers. That alone is a huge money savings. As a result, IBM says they are saving $270 per employee who switches to a Mac. They are now installing over 2000 Macs per week at IBM for their workers, going from zero to over 30,000 Macs installed in just six months as of October, 2015.
Apple is more expensive because they don't compete with the bottom of the barrel market share commodity products. They compete with the top tier products.
