Are you serious about this? They charge 400 USD for a plastic keyboard. I have a hard time believing these are subsidized prices, Apple has some of the highest

Are you serious about this? They charge 400 USD for a plastic keyboard. I have a hard time believing these are subsidized prices, Apple has some of the highest profit margins in tech, some say only the drug cartels generate more profit per dollar of revenue.

Yeah so it would be ridiculous to say that Maserati would have to increase car prices if they couldn't profit as much off of after sale services. >If you think the profit margins are too large you can just not buy that product. Sure. Entirely irrelevant though.
- judge2020 5y agoWell, if they had to provide the same service guarantees without charging people for it, then you can bet it’d be factored into the initial price - I’m sure warranties heavily increase the price of cars since they have to do more engineering validation and testing.
