The phones are officially loss leaders for the service businesses.
- fdsafdsa32va 3y agonope, the phones are very profitable.
- seizethecheese 3y agoYep, I meant this in spirit, not literally, but looks like I was wrong even in spirit: https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/02/apple-results-and-charts-117-2b-quarter-is-still-a-step-back/ https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/02/apple-results-and-charts-...
- dev_tty01 3y agoNot true. Apple is super disciplined about profit margins. Each business has to be sustainable on its own and each product sells with a hefty margin or is doesn't make the cut.
- paint 3y agoApple phones are a lot more expensive than android phones of similar specs
- dan-robertson 3y agoWhat does similar specs mean? Just looking at cpu for the first set of results I found[1], one has to go back to the iPhone 11 (released 2019) to find one performing worse than a non-iPhone. Results are closer for multicore and maybe the comparison/benchmark I found was bad for one reason or another, or maybe you mean other specs like the size/weight or cameras.
