I don't think there are many phone makers gearing up to make low end phones except perhaps Lenovo. Everyone who tried seemed to lose money. The low end is a moot point hardware wise I agree on all points. Lenovo is working closely with Google, so they will likely be able to make up for the drab hardware margins elsewhere. Of course, there's mid-tier hardware in addition to low and high end. Would you agree that Apple, regardless of which segment of the market they're focused upon, would benefit by improving monetization of the use of their devices? It would help protect them against a cutthroat hardware war similar to the ones the plague lots of other electronic hardware manufacturers.

OK, this has gone waaaaay past anything useful here. I have Ryan and Limey on ignore but unfortunately most of the posts are in response to their posts and obviously the same arguments are being made by both sides that have been made dozens of times before. Enough!!!! Ryan you are not going to change anyone's mind here and I do not believe for one second that your are "just trying to get information to help with your investment decisions". That's BS and you know it and most others here know it too. Everyone who is responding to Ryan please stop! You are not going to change his mind either. It was made up and set in stone eons ago. Google good, Apple bad, period. Don't fall for his excellent use of the English language and his supposed open mindedness. It's not real! This board has gone to hell with this useless arguing. All I am hearing is "......a tale told by and idiot, full of sound and fury signifying NOTHING" And Clean, do not give me a hard time for quoting Shakespeare. I am applying the "idiot" to any and all who insist on engaging in this useless, endless, pointless exchange. Bye, Annie
