apple is just for stupid noobs who just want to show shiny apple logo to all. apple sucks. it sells over priced phones and play with the cash. microsoft is much better as it donates lot of profit for causes and charities and not swim in cash pools like money hungary apple. google is also good as it seriousy spends in R&D and come up with really awesome stuff.

You don't get a single penny from Google either and they make tons. I guess I'm missing your point

They will spend all in lawsuits

22. clevelandiskindacool posted on 23 Jul 2012, 08:59 5

For every dollar they spend in court they should donate an equal amount to charity

33. InspectorGadget80 posted on 23 Jul 2012, 22:52

they would GO BANKRUPT paying their lawyers

From my point of view, apple is really worth 1 piece of dog-sh*t.
Have a nice day apple and Android fans.

Apple is just a thief, liar and complete immoral company.....facts are there, not any rumour:

of course they have done much much more rotten and immoral things....

wake up and please, do not support (do not buy their products) them! e.g. why?

Yeah, the iZOMBIES will come after you now....WATCH OUT!!

35. anywherehome posted on 23 Jul 2012, 23:54

of course they go after us - with ridiculous patent litigations which affects us through Android ;)

Worth from the "real-world"? Apple won't even amount to a billion usd. True worth has material value. Most of Apple's money is in cash (because of overpriced products). True valuable companies are those with material wealth like boeing, big oil companies, real estate magnates. If there is one big world wide recession apple would topple to the ground. But those who have material properties will strive and would be able to continue production. Foxconn have more worth than Apple in the sense of true value.

apple is a real winner, because its the money that all the tech companies want at the end of the day and apple is getting that.....apple has great products and apple has the highest customer satisfaction in the world, more than 91% developers prefer apple over the other companies,the university toppers prefer apple over other companies which makes apple have the best employees and the investors are happy as well, my friend's father bought apple shares when steve jobs returned to apple...his relatives said that he couldn't afford microsoft shares,but he didn't care as he believed that jobs will change everything and today he is richer than all his relatives and they remain haters saying that he was just lucky.... i wonder how many intelligent people might have become rich by having faith in apple in the last decade....apple is the best in the world because apple's customers form the most powerful group in the world......i am a proud owner of an iphone and an ipad....ps i don't hate google and i am not an apple fanboy because this comment is coming from google chrome on windows

It is quite a pity that with all that money - they never could buy ETHICS.

How many Samsung=1 Apple?

11. PhoneArenaUser posted on 23 Jul 2012, 07:11

To get better understanding:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung

12. xtian1103 posted on 23 Jul 2012, 07:14 2

That's what you call power!

13. moanismk posted on 23 Jul 2012, 07:24 3

Great company! In just 5 years it put giants like Nokia to its knees. They are like a locomotive, which everyone wants to surpass, but all they do is follow, including Giggle, Shamshung, LJ etc. :)

18. networkdood posted on 23 Jul 2012, 08:44

striker?

19. bbblader posted on 23 Jul 2012, 08:46 2 2

exuse me but if it wasnt for android is**t would still be less than nokia
and shamsung is the one who makes the parts for your little gay ass overpriced company

21. jaoowolabi posted on 23 Jul 2012, 08:56 2

i doubt that

27. cptbeatstix posted on 23 Jul 2012, 13:59 2

It's true. Samsung actually makes apple's chipsets and what not. Kind of old news though.

20. Gaurav008 posted on 23 Jul 2012, 08:54

such buisness mind..and such marketing skills...coupled with that such a great fanfollowing apple community....and a great ecosystem..and some cool products...no wonder it is such a winner of a company...only downside is they dn't allow competion..only sueing comapnies rivalling them unneccesarily....o_o

23. kabukijoe posted on 23 Jul 2012, 09:11 1

With the wild popularity of their brand plus the ridiculous markup on their product it's no wonder why they make so much money. Plus I know people that work for cell phone carriers/retailers and most of them only get paid a fraction of the commission to sell an iPhone vs selling any other phone.

24. good2great posted on 23 Jul 2012, 09:38 1

boy you guys are HATERS lol...

30. andrew1953 posted on 23 Jul 2012, 15:33

It's just a matter of taste . If your into Apple fine but just make sure you've got deep pockets. If your like me and don't, I think Android offers better value. Wndows look like they're going to be one on par with Apple.

31. master0fursinz posted on 23 Jul 2012, 17:26

they should give greece a bail out. and then rename them to iGreece
