Top 3 Stupid Comments for iPhone that We Should Defend!


1) iPhone gross profit margin is 50% or maybe 20%

That irritate me that most. There are a lot of so call experts try to guess how much Apple will make for each iPhone sold.

“iSuppli estimates the 4GB version of the Apple iPhone will carry a $229.85 hardware BoM and manufacturing cost and a $245.83 total expense, yielding a 49.3 percent margin on each unit sold at the $499 retail price,” said Andrew Rassweiler, teardown services manager and senior analyst for iSuppli.”

Then DisplaySearch argues that the maximum profit margin of each iPhone is just 20%.

I don’t understand why these experts are so interested magnifying how much money Apple can make while they don’t question why Windows Vista is sold at such high price.

Hey guys, Apple isn’t a non-profit company so does Microsoft.

2) iPhone isn’t qualified as a “PDA phone” ?

Hey, who care? iPhone is iPhone which is a unique product that comes with cool multi-tech technology that revolutionize the cell phone industry. Who cares about the name of “PDA” or “Smartphone”. Do you really think Windows Mobile Powered Cell Phones are smart enough to earn the name “smartphone” ?

3) Top 5 Reasons Why iPhone Sucks ? (read article here)

For me, this comment is just to gain popularity through Digg or Slashdot.

“1. 2-megapixel camera when others have 5-megapixel shooters on board”

My friends, what do the new cell phones that you can get offers more than 2-megapixel?

“2. 5-hour talk time: not enough battery life”

With Nokia E62, you also get only about 5 hours of talk time.

“3. No expansion slot. Go for the 8-gig model and that’s it.”

My friend, do you know miniSD expansion slot that comes with the cellular phone right now just supports up to maximum 2GB? (See Nokia N62 website). 8GB is the highest you can get now. Even with the Nokia N62, the maximum memory you can get is just less than 3GB for total not counting you spend hundreds dollars in 2GB memory card.

“4. No 3G: EDGE is so last year.”

How many of you are using 3G services? Hello, be patient. When the time comes, Apple and also other cellular phone makers will release 3G phones.

“5. No removable battery: You mean we can’t take along a spare battery? WTF?”

The only point that I agree with. This is only Apple’s mistake that I can think of.

So after all, iPhone is still the best and coolest cell phone. Don’t try to make up somethings to gain popularity. This isn’t fair for the hardworks of Apple’s researchers.
