So, a bit like those who buy Apple products regardless of the obscene
Apple pricing model, maybe.

nothing like that at all, because there is no 'obscene apple pricing
model'.

I don't know if it's true, I heard Apple's profit-margins are something like
2x that of Samsung, etc.

it's not, not that it matters one way or the other.

if you don't think a given product is worth its asking price, don't buy
it.

meanwhile, apple and samsung are selling ****loads of phones. other
makers not so much...
