Can you provide evidence that Apple is charging a lot compared to its peers ?
- concatime 6y agoNintendo and Microsoft/Xbox have low margin on each device sold [1] [2]. For Valve, Steam is the only real source of income. Apple on the other hand has a lot of source of incomes. They have a margin of 60 percent just for the iPhone!

- tristan123456 6y agoYou have a job and an apartment you lease out. You made a great deal on the apartment. Now, your tenant suggests he should pay less, since you have another income and you already make a profit. Do you? I don't understand your point - if Nintendo or Sony could achieve larger margins, they would.
