Maybe now the cheap p----- will start making components in places where speed
isn't valued over quality? The phone only costs about $80.00 to make, and
the selling price is INSANE.

you have no idea how much it costs to make and its selling price is
consistent with other similar phones.

That's what kills me about Americans. They'll scream and shout that an essential like an Epipen apparently costs a lot of money compared to its manufacturing price, but they accept $900 for a phone without complaint, a phone definitely NOT needed by anyone. Seems like they'd rather play Pokemon than LIVE.


To say your thinking is screwed up, is an understatement.

To make a huge profit on an economically elastic product is good business.

To make a huge profit on an economically non-elastic product, which is
essential for savings lives, is price gouging.

People can live without a Galaxy Note, some can die without an Epipen.
Do you understand the difference?

Most people dies for other reasons or ills. That's correct...
