Why is a general purpose computer pegged to the price of a video game console most commonly sold at a loss?
- kjkjadksj 3y agoBecause the general population of americans probably also doesn’t pay more than that for a computer

- threeseed 3y agoSince when does Apple predominately sell to the general population. They have always preferred premium users and their success to date suggests this is a good strategy.
- deadbabe 3y ago57% of Americans have iPhones.
- pb7 3y agoWhich disproves the claim that the general population does not pay above $500 for a computer.
- deadbabe 3y agoOnly if it’s a computer that does exactly what they need.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoYou make the assumption that most people buy iphones for full price. They still offer free iphones through carrier subsidy. For other apple products you need sufficient credit to get approved for their installment payment plans because its through the Apple card and not subsidized by the carrier.
