the operating system used to be a $100-150 stand alone purchase, so where do you account for the other $900-1900 in additional mark up
even disregarding that - the operating system isnt worth the extra $900-1900

im never justified the price. im telling you the OS is the reason why people buy it. the logo is not making people repeatedly buy over priced shytthe operating system used to be a $100-150 stand alone purchase, so where do you account for the other $900-1900 in additional mark up

The Note8 comes with expandable storage and you can get a substantial discount trading in an old phone.
My Note8 cost me about $560 or so and I got 256GBs on the SD with 64GBs internal with a free fast wireless charger.
For content creators on youtube or music it very well could be justified.the operating system used to be a $100-150 stand alone purchase, so where do you account for the other $900-1900 in additional mark up

The problem is that the majority buying Macs are just browsing facebook, gram or twitter for memes.

and im telling you that you are wrong
the logo is the exact reason people are buying them. this isnt 2005 anymore, Sony Vegas via a custom built PC has long surpassed Apple editing tools for content.
Almost 100% of every big gaming youtube/twitch content creator uses Sony Vegas on Microsoft to edit their videos.

You can download and extract zips without being jailbroken on IOS. It's nowhere near as flexible as Androids full file system but very convenient nonetheless.

Not a single good use case either
@ least @Ciggavelli owned up to it immediately...the others
this is hilarious. if the samsungs are so great then why do they have so many different types of phones. android is so watered down.
all the shyt you can do on the phone, which no one wants to address is cause nikkas want tons of illegal shyt on their phones. no one wants to pay for anything except internet.

In the real world the overwhelming majority of smart phone users are using Android. Even in the United States that's also the case. While it might be true that right now the iPhone 7 is the world's most popular individual smartphone model almost 70% of the phones activated in the US in Q2 2017 were Android phones.
Android continues to increase its sizable lead over iOS in the US
Globally Android is on the high 80% range of smartphones. Apple is more in the 12% range.
The thing about Apple is those iPhones cost them a couple hundred dollars to make and they sell them for $650 and up. They make a killing on those profits. Android isn't really about exploiting their userbase like that and many phones are priced much more modestly.
Apple isn't about making a better phone it's about convincing their customer base that they make a better phone. When Apple sells that iPhone they're selling it for 2-3x what it cost them to make it.
