It is an expected loss. Where's the problem?
- PaulHoule 2y agoIf it means they sell more iPhones it might not really be a loss. If it keeps competitors on their back foot it might not be a loss. If it keeps Hollywood sweet such that that only the bad guys in movies have Android phones it might not be a loss. It's like trying to put a rational value on everything in the Amazon Prime bundle, it means something different to everybody.
