Re: [iPad] Small cheap phones to compete with Android to hurt Android's marketshare

 

If the goal is only how much money Apple makes, then the answer is to continue as is. One iPhone model, increment the hardware each year as all competitors do, and catchup a few features on each iOS release. Thats what Apple has been doing and they make more money than all the others combined, so do nothing different.

The goal isn't to sell the most phones. Nor to have the most marketshare. The goal to make the most money and apple commands well over half the profits of the ENTIRE industry. Being vertically integrated will continue to help apple maintain that level of INSANE profitability even with a niche market only. 

Samsung. Sell 10 billion phones at $1 profit each
Apple. Sell 1 billion iPhones at $100 profit each. 

Who wins? Apple made 10x as much money by selling 100x less phones. Apple wins. And even though I made up the numbers it's the gist of what is happening.

I am for it, because poor people and carriers that want to offer their
customers iOS and apps at price many people can afford need this
product.
