You're claiming that Apple's reported ~$290b of costs, 77% of which is cost of revenue, in quarterly earnings reports, is illegitimate and fake. That means a conspiracy is happening. I'm not being psychologically manipulated into thinking that's what it costs to operate Apple. They are publishing that number in financial statements given to investors. Somebody, according to you, is cooking the books to come up with that number.

You're not usually this retarded, are you hungover from Easter Sunday?
The manipulation was in relation to webberhelper saying that people buy Apple, as an example, because people want it. I responded by saying people aren't buying/consuming Apple products because they all want to, but because they're manipulated into thinking they need to buy it. It's not just Apple either.

This is why I want Trump to tariff the fuck out of chink electronics. I want the chinks to flog their American electronics for cheap, direct to customer, bypassing Apple. I want those big companies that push consoomerism and anti-consumer products, like forcing a software download onto an Iphone to make the battery life worse - all to push you into buying a new phone. Then, when caught, just pushing software updates to slow down old phones for no reason. It's not just planned obsolescence, which is bad, this is forced obsolescence.

The $30 was a guess/example/comparison. I didn't expect people to trip over their own autism and get caught up on that number vs the idea.

Manipulated??? Nigga nobody forces you to by a IPhone or a Mac. People buy it because they like the products. Apple has raised the price accordingly because they can.

You're right, nobody forces me to buy an Iphone, which is why I've never owned an Apple product, I'm not a moron. If you believe that your average pleb isn't forced through social coercion , then you're genuinely retarded, braindead, niggercattle.

Most people own Android retard. Again, nobody is forcing you to buy apple. You sound like a commie wanting to redistribute the wealth. Apple earned what it has. It turns out their fans are willing to pay $1500 for a fucking phone. You can call them niggercattle. Apple is still richer than Finland. A true American success story.

You're simply a low-iq mong. You're one of the chimps who typed shakespeare who has retired and spends their days on the internet. You lack the ability to think critically and read what these companies actually admit to.

Android is every device, Iphone is one, sold by one company. Seriously, you're a fucking moron.

Oh no, Apple is a corporation. So? People still buy their products despite their buisness practices because they like them. Also lol no, they run IOS, which has only the barest resemblance to Linux. Android is its own thing. Im sorry you don't like a American company being successful and bringing its jobs back to America. Just dont buy a Iphone man. And thats where im ending this.

IIRC, they pulled an Obama and retooled the cardinal system to ensure the Popes will be their guy from here on out. So don't hope for anything other than another globalist marxist stooge telling all the Catholics they have to let their replacement in and if you refuse to honor your Muslim overlords, you're committing the new extra-cardinal sins of racism, xenophobia, and loving your family over your neighbor.
