"The iPhone generated $51 billion in revenue, giving each iPhone an average selling price of $687."

Somewhere P.T. Barnum nods knowingly...

There are approximately 5 million companies in the U.S. consisting of 10 people or more according to DMDatabases. Of that 5 million, one company, precisely one, has adherents who feel compelled to share the firm's quarterly financial reports, sales figures, and latest product line, on Free Republic on a daily basis.

One.

Why?

That money goes into making even more of the products I like ... PLUS ... you’ll find that the success of Apple goes right into the pockets of the FReepers who were smart enough to BUY APPLE. I just saw a FReeper say today that he had turned his money into over a HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! That’s in “his pocket”!

Good for him. But you should be realistic about where your money goes and who you are supporting.

Some people ... on the one hand (here on Free Republic) very loudly support our free enterprise system ... and then ... on the other hand COMPLAIN LOUDLY when a company like Apple shows them “how it’s done” ... LOL ...

When it comes to love of money, there is no right or left and everyone is of the same religion.

Quarterly financial statements don’t come out on a daily basis. We discuss them quarterly.

We are happy with our Apple purchases.

If we saw American Sniper, we rejoice and share with other Freepers who did likewise.

If we saw Ted Cruz give a speech, we gab with othe Freepers as to his inflections and marvelous humor.

Let us enjoy life’s pleasures without having to deal with your depression.

I'm not depressed by it at all. I'm laughing at you. Good grief, there are suicide cults that aren't this lockstep. Pause for a little self-reflection. Every day? A gushing, self-congratulatory thread on a technology company every day? And you don't think that's weird?

I think reinventing the same thing over and over has worked great for them. You should get in line now for the iPhone 7, which will work pretty much the same as the 6 but this one will have an AZURE bezel! OOOOOoooo...

But don’t fool yourself into thinking your $$ didn’t go into getting obozo elected.

Because they live vicariously through them, and think they, by extension, are superior people based on the money Apple makes. They feel like their purchase is validated by their profits.

It's bizarre because they go overboard with the bombastic hyperbole, which is the hallmark of Apple fanatics it seems. They are "good" and "smart for using that stuff, so you must be stupid and unproductive for using anything else, and they will swamp you with sales figures and financial data to make sure you believe it.

You are on a downer. We’re enjoying ourselves.

Some people enjoy sprwDing discord and negativity. But, please, spare us. Just let these threads go by.

I started with the FIRST iPHONE in 2007. If you think there have been no improvements from phone to phone ... all during that progression since 2007 ... you’re showing your IGNORANCE of the product!
