good artists copy, great artists steal

I'm as anti-apple as the next guy, but I think this boils down to the economies of scale at least as much as it boils down to Apple being chintzy.

"Apple is better because if i break it, they fix it for free"
Is what they believe until i tell them that they already paid for 2 or 3 laptops up front, and so did all of the other people who didnt break their laptops.

>cost less to make and are still undisputed champs in terms of performance

Then don't buy one

they're sold for a high price BECAUSE PEOPLE BUY THEM AT THIS PRICE

And then of course come to /g/ to complain about it.

>still thinking production costs are in any way relevant to the selling price
If they can sell an iPhone for $700 why would they sell it for less?
