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

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.

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.
