I would LOVE to have a company that makes 1% profit of Apple's products.
Then you clearly never ran a business. I think you’re misinterpreting how this article refers to profit margins.
I run a business right now. We malke 30% profit. I'd throw 30% away for .1% of Apple product profit.
This article does not say that Foxconn makes a single digit's worth of Apple's product profit. It says THEIR profit margin is in the single digits, which is not good. You really don't understand this?

Profit margin is only relevant when measured against the industry it is part of. Apple is a consumer electronics company; Foxconn is a contract manufacturer. What would you think typical margins are in the auto industry?
"Profitability remains strong in the automotive sector with an average EBIT margin of 6.0% in 2016. Suppliers reached an average margin of 7.0%, with Italian companies taking the lead (9.0%). Car manufacturers achieved a lower EBIT at 5.5%, with Japanese actors in pole position for the second year in a row."

Congrats on missing the point, twice: Beats seems to be implying Foxconn makes a percentage of Apple's profits, which is false. My assertion that their single-digit profit margin being bad is based on this article that we're all commenting on, which states...well just read the headline again maybe?
It's hard to know what those profit margins actually mean without a better understanding of how that relates to gross profits across both companies. In my mind, a smaller percentage of a larger pie can still be a lot more money than the higher margin being associated with Apple.
