Reply to comment by councilmember in Apple explores moving some iPad production to India, sources say by Thick-Ad-6366
Their profits are already insane high they could easily still make profits with the same price point but being built in a more developed and educated country. They could even lower the cost of their devices by a lot. Problem is they want the most profit they can get. And their customers have proven time and time again they don't care the cost of human lives or their paycheck they want apple. The modern day Blood Diamond.

What's your source? All of my sources talk about the usual 30% of margin.

What's YOUR source?!
To ignore the fact that Apple's entire business model post-Jobs has been to increase profits per unit every single quarter is either disingenous or utterly clueless.

Pretty dumb of you to account only for the BOM and not R&D, marketing, logistics and all that comes with a product.
Here's your source.

Ignoring the fact that nothing in your link contradicts the information I provided, your own link makes it clear that no matter how you choose to measure it, Apple makes 3-10x as much per unit (your 30% figure) as other electronic brands (single digit)...even after accounting for everything and anything involved.

My own link clearly says 30%, just like every other serious breakdown.
It's more than average but it's not 150% like people who parrot an unfounded internet myth say.

I edited my post for clarity. You should re-read and do accordingly.

That's a strawman because it's not something I said. Please stay on topic and address my post, not what you heard on the tubes somewhere, please.
