    Remember this, you, I and everyone else on this AI forum will not meet the criteria to become juries for this trial, and you know exactly the reason why. WE ARE ALL BIASED AND PREJUDICIAL about things Apple. Apple will have to PROVE BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT to the juries that their allegations are valid.

    You're wrong, "beyond a reasonable doubt" only pertains to criminal cases not civil.

    My only question at this point is when we're going to ban you.

    Take a gander at the high-end Android phones. Some have even higher margins.

    Fandroid arguments flip flop by day or by post depending on whether they are trying to argue that Apple is successful & not the underdog or Apple is losing to ground to (insert competitor here). Or whether Apple is an innovator and should be forced to license its patents, or Apple is not an innovator and just copies everyone. The only thing consistent is the assumption that Apple is somehow always bad and anyone who disagrees with that position is a sheep.

    Apple doesn't have to prove that. If they can prove infringement, the law permits them to be awarded all of the profit from the infringing product.

    So you as the Global Moderator are already planning to ban this guy for disagreeing with Apple's stance in the lawsuit? So is that the fate of anyone that disagrees with you and the forum?

    i don't keep track of Apple sales figures because the precise numbers do not and will never interest me.  i do know, however, that Apple will make some profit from me when i purchase the next iPhone; my 3GS is getting old ;)


     


    anyways, i'm far more keen to know why Apple objected to the release of sales data since they already do so, publicly, a few times every year.  if the sales data matches, i can't see the reason for Apple lawyers' objection

    Like we DON'T know the majority of iphone sales are the older 3GS and iphone 4 models. Its the same as Android, the lower cost ones make the most money. 


     


    Don't know why Apple thinks people do not already know this. AND. Why would it be a big deal? 


     


    In other words, why do they care? We don't. And i don't see why a jury would either.

    … 'Nope' in that that is not why he'd be banned.

    I will attest to that, Tallest and I have disagreed many times and I'm still here.

    "Market research in the creation of a product" I think were the exact words, this is not the same as "Do not use market research".


     


    Back to the drawing board with your foolish tripe.

    It's been over 3 hours.


     


    So when is this deletion and ban over your whiny, pointless post going to happen?

Iphone 4S is being sold on average of about USD 650 [previous month's price before the USD 50 price cut]. You can calculate and guesstimate how much Apple makes for each Iphone 4S they sold. It's mind boggling. I don't think anything in the world can come close to this per device profit margin, hovering around 50+%. The fact that the market is letting this kind of profit margin continue for so long would mean that something is not quite right with Apple profit equation. Sooner or later, people will want parts of it, be that the suppliers, the partners or even the end-users. This type of profit margin is not sustainable.



     


    Well apart from Samsung not releasing this information, they have priced the Samsung Galaxy S 3 at exactly the same outright price points as iPhones.


     


    Hey do you think Samsung charges themselves more for the components they make and also sell to other companies such as Apple?


     


    I hope this data becomes available and wasn't "deleted after two weeks".

    Sorry you feel that way. In that I'm sorry that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

    Yep. I'm certainly known for doing that. In fact, let me just leave that post up and you un-banned because of how you just "called me out" there.

    Hey, he wants to live in fear, let him. I'll never do it, but if it makes him feel better… image

    Because it causes consternation for the intellectually challenged as they attempt to discern the magnitude of this threat to their very existence. And fandroids have no concept of humour.

    More along the lines of just being a power hungry jerk who likes to flaunt his power and then laugh at people who react to his threats.
