I generally agree, but I think you might underestimate how many customers _globally_ are very price sensitive. I have relatives overseas and a price difference of ~$40 is pretty sizable over there. Apple devices are seen as quite a luxury there.
- scarface74 4y agoI am aware of that. I think it is amazing that a $70 unsubsidized cell phone exists and Android has done more to make “computers” ubiquitous than Microsoft/Intel did. But a $100 cell phone is no substitute for a $429 iPhone SE. While there are some mid tier $250-$300 Android phones that are “good enough”. The only phones that currently exist that have the performance of even an iPhone SE are - other iPhones.
- goosedragons 4y agoNo it is a substitute. They are both phones, they both browse the web, check emails, etc. Obviously the iPhone SE is better but guess what? It costs over 4 times as much! A BMW 3 series is also better than Chevy Spark. Not everyone can afford to pay $400+ for a phone.
