Apple is expensive because it doesn't target the low end, high volume but
targets demanding users who need robust, reliable hardware that works.
Hence why it's favoured by professionals in creative industries.

 
Apple makes over 50% profit on each iPhone last I checked

Where and how did you check? That's secret information.

(admittedly long
ago), whereas Android profits are far lower than that.

If android is so good why can't they make a decent profit from it? The tech
savvy would be happy to pay a premium for the better quality product.

Oh wait. They already do ;)

Why?
Because Apple Marketing is one of the best on earth, perhaps even better
than Big Tobacco and Big Soda marketing (which themselves are excellent).
 
Apple has no qualms about telling "The Big Lie" (and, as proof, look at the
plethora of expensive lawsuits Apple lost for spewing all those lies).
 
So the real reason Apple products are expensive is Apple Marketing has
convinced the gullible uneducated technically inferior people that it's
better (and those technically clueless people don't know any better).

Why do you constantly devalue your arguenent by name calling or childish
views.

I suspect the reason you don't know how technically inferior Apple products
are is that you are clueless yourself about Android. Am I right?
 

macOS is also a unix machine, hence why it's liked by scientists and
software engineers who have seen the light. All the benefits of linux are
present.

 
I could say the same thing about Android which is just as much a Linux box.

Android is linux in all but name. Linus Torvalds is the only reason why the
android kernel is not mainline linux.

Bear in mind I probably have and use more Apple mobile devices than you do.
 

 

The only way Apple devices work is when they're all in the walled garden.

 
False.

 
I probably have right in front of me more iPads & iPhones than you do.
 
Your own statements prove you're technically clueless about Android's
capability to work when the Apple devices fail due to the walled garden.
 
Before you respond that you think I am clueless about iOS not working
outside the walled garden, take a look at these three representative
screenshots I made for badgolferman's photo-file-naming thread.

I'm surprised it's not more pictures of books. Do you have android for
dummies?
