Explain to me how having the fastest silicone in the business is not "competitive" in price? I mean if you are the top dog, you kinda get to set the stage, no?
- DerekL 8y agoYou mean “silicon”, not “silicone”. (Or maybe you do mean “silicone”?)
- anthonybsd 8y agoRight you are, silicon. Thank you. Not caulking material :)
- Synaesthesia 8y agoThey do have the best silicone, and I was trying to explain why they get to set the price they do and get away with it. It’s just that, for example in South Africa the new iPhone XS costs R22000-24000 which is $1500 - the Samsungs and especially the Huawei’s are much cheaper. You can get a P20 lite for like R5000 which is an outstanding phone. But again many South Africans can afford the iPhone.
- anthonybsd 8y agoWell of course! Not everyone needs the best CPU. I recently got Huawei Mate for my mother in law for let's see 1/7th of what I paid for my IPhone XS Max. Some people do (I play a lot of 3D games and what not), but vast majority of the people do not. It's just that Huawei and Samsung have offerings that span the whole range of prices whereas Apple only covers ultra-premium segment. And if you venture into Apple prices are comparable to others (and command much better resale).
