What phone do you use?

I know that, most companies make 100-150$, but Apple adds 400+.

 

they dont make 400 per phone, more like 250

 

mind you apple is the most vertically integrated phone maker,

they design their own chip, write their own os, own a bunch of their suppliers, and own the retail stores the sell them at. so it's understandable that they make more from each phone

 

also apple iphones sell far more than any other single model of smartphones, so they have more bargaining power when buying parts.

They actaully make 450.00 profit on each phone. I am aware that apple is a company that makes everything for their own product, but they do make alot of money on profit.

Oppo Find 5 16GB White, getting an iPhone 6 early next summer

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

I recommend the HTC One M8, but if you preffer Apple than Android go for the 6. (If you get used to Android, you will not stop loving it)

My first smartphone was Android(a shitty samsung unfortunately, never bought one after it, never will), had an iPhone 4S for a year and I was more than pleased with it, switched back to andoid, now going back to iOS because I wanna shitch it up, but after the 6, I might get the next HTC M9/10/howeverthefucktheywannacallit

OnePlus One 64gb Sandstone Black I love the this thing.

Its solid feels good to use a nice and detailed screen a tad big.

 

But then again i'm coming from a s4 mini but i am getting used to it.

Oh and battery life that has yet to drop below 70% by the time i get home from work.

Unlike my S4 which i had to charge with a battery pack to last me the full day.

Huawei U9200 Ascend P1

I really like it, I was possitively surprised with the build quality, the almost stock android experience and small stuff like preinstalled protective screen cover.

Only negative thing is the old version of android (4.0.3), but it works for me.

It costs Apple $194.00 to make the IPhone 5s, yet they sell it for $649.00. Apple, evil much?

Name one top tier phone that doesn't cost $600+. I'd say if anything, the carriers are the ones screwing us over at $65/month + taxes ($800+ a year) for service. At least the phone costs money to make....not including parts value, there's a lot of engineering that goes into making one, particularly if they're making custom PCB designs and writing their own software.
