Those are the reasons why Apple is well situated in the market, and can offer low prices and still make great margins.
The reasons that their products are successful beyond that are even more important, IMO. Unlike Motorola, Samsung, Google, Nokia, and so many other companies in this space, Apple has been working very hard on designing interfaces for applications and personal computer operating systems for a very long time. When you put Apple with their experience with OS X and Mac software up against Motorola, even with Google's help, it's clear who has the advantage.
There's not really another company with Apple's sort of experience out there, other than Microsoft. The problem is their mobile strategy is a mess still, and they don't seem the same quality of vision that Apple does.
- cmsj 15y agoI don't disagree with you at all. The software is a huge part of Apple's success, but I was being generous and assuming Android is as good. Even with ideal hardware specs and software quality, Android tablets would still be worse business than iPad.
- code_duck 15y agoAndroid is good, but the non-Google (Motorola) software that came with my phone is clearly not as well designed as the Google stuff, and definitely not as good as the Apple software that comes with iPhones - mail clients being a good example.
