nah it's just an iphone 5 I bought off my friend for $200 a few months ago 'cause he bought an iphone 6, and i'd been using some shittty LG phone from 3 years ago. I wouldn't normally buy an iphone but it was a seemingly decent option at the time.

What kind of phone do you have? Never mind, I already know it is wrong and bad. If you buy a android you are a poor and a neckbeard, if you buy an iPhone you are a caramel macchiado and a gay. The only solution is to buy a windows phone.

You're right to laugh, Apple has built their share price on super thick margins, but the "cost" of something manufactured includes far more than the cost of materials/labour for the manufacturing (R&D, shipping, licensing, fees and taxes, etc etc)

eveyrbody knows what R&D is. that is still an appallingly low cost. thats the kind of markup you give when you have to make up R&D in two weeks considering units sold. stop apologizing for their bullshit

it's only appallingly low relatively if you manage to sell millions of them every quarter. the more you sell the less R/D costs per unit. the fact that this cost is so 'low' to apple is actually a testament to their position as a desirable product for almost ten years now
