@sickburnbro Woe used to work for Apple during Jobs tenure, no? I take his criticisms as valid rather than grumpy ramblings like many critics. In Tim Apple's defense, the company would have gone bankrupt if not for his changes in sourcing and logistics.

@BowsacNoodle yes, he worked before and through I think 5+ years of Timmy.

This is the problem with 99.99% of MBAs. They can optimize logistics and structure product lines (gotta pay extra for more than 6G RAM) to extract max money from their customers. But most of them have zero vision, innovative spirit or understanding of the technology of the products they manage.

@TeaTootler @sickburnbro Last I checked gross margin was like 60%+. Considering everything for R&D (past and future), material costs, marketing... It's good, but it's not like they could realistically sell it close to manufacturing cost without resorting to other revenue options and turning the company into a Google esque spying monopoly.

@BowsacNoodle @sickburnbro the fact that they sell the SE for like $300 tells you something about how much they actually cost to make

@TeaTootler @sickburnbro Sure, but the SE is the phone you give Mom and Dad so they can use iMessage and talk on speaker at max volume in a restaurant or store ( :arthurfist: ). They are not fancy. The thing people forget is miscalculating margin literally one time to where the company has to borrow funds to get their next hit can completely tank things.
>Tried to make things affordable. recession happens and people don't buy anyway. Have to borrow funds; more expensive because we have bad financials. CEO gets replaced because board members (mostly fund companies) wanted you as a growth and company, not something held together by debt. New CEO is business minded (bean counter) who cuts r&d and tries massive course correction. Company fails or revives as a totally different animal.
Not worth the risk.

@iwetoddid @TeaTootler @sickburnbro You can easily break 100k on F150 and have been able to for a while now. It's retarded. You get what you pay for— expensive but nice gadgets and comfy ride.

@BowsacNoodle @sickburnbro because the drives up the price of the cheap model or it makes them stop producing the cheap model because every retard with jew credit is buying a phone on payments

@TeaTootler @sickburnbro Yes. So the way to fix this is to make credit not have the same value as cash. It is a problem with money supply and velocity. Not to say there aren't multiple levers that can be pulled, but in context here. Basically just don't buy an iPhone and you don't have to worry. I don't have one because I like being able to do stupid shit that would be too hard to do on an iPhone.
