the number one selling Nokia phone is the Nokia 1100 which sells for ~$16 outright.
The number one selling Apple iPhone sells for $599 retail.
They are apples and oranges
I was wondering if you heard similar?

I dont see revenue anywhere in that post!
He was responding to this post by me
Why are you comparing Revenue (which includes data payments, royalties from carriers, etc)to the sale price of a device?
They are apples and oranges
I don't see anything about popularity there, do you?
So HE (and thus You) were offtopic, not I.
Whether Nokia's products pale to Apple's or not, does not take away that Nokia's patents might actually have been violated.
By your definition, No company has the right to sue another if their products are inferior to the one they're suing?

Apple fans would sever limbs just to buy an Apple product. I however, would not.

I guess Motorola has the right to clean everyone's clock on mobile devices, for they were the first to the plate on mobile devices. And btw, I think both Nokia and Apple are patent trolling.
...Apple's products are more popular than Nokia's based on durability...
Almost forgot that iPhones are world renowned for their near Military-Spec ruggedness and resistance to damage by droppage. And that NOKIA phones are more fragile than kittens.
If apple sells an iPhone it makes Apple $650, consumers are perfectly happy paying that. Sure you will find some people say that iPhones are to expensive and are happy buying junk phones.
Nokia on the other hand has to give their phones away to sell them. further showing the world how lousy their products are.
You are comparing how much apples MAKES to how much nokia sells the phone FOR.
It's really not a difficult concept.
When apple sells a phone, not only do they get the RETAIL cost of that device (remember, they are selling them subsidized, so they never let a phone out of their docks for 199) So this is around 500+. Then they get the royalty checks from the carriers for the "honor" of carrying the device, and they get a portion (and a large portion at that) of that customer's monthly service.
You are comparing that to how much a store charges for a nokia device.
The two are COMPLETELY different.
Yes, Nokia sells most of their phones unsubsidized so if Apple wasn't killing them in total re...

they offer EVERY phone for free based on MRC. so the price on a contract is the same between Apple and Nokia in 80% of the world. People choose apple because they want a quality device from a quality company with a High standard for software. Nokia offers none of those things. Apple charges Carriers $650+ per device and carriers are happy with that. Nokia has to GIVE the phones to carriers to have their product offered.
please stop following me around i am getting tired of pwning you.
You were comparing the REVENUE apple gets for their phone to the SALE Price of the device.
I'm not following you around. You can't keep off of any topic that smells like a chance for you to bash someone who isn't apple.

Was Talking SALES PRICE, not revenue, not how much Nokia got from carriers. Then you link an Article from Bnet that discusses REVENUE not retail. You are comparing apples to oranges.
And on top of that, they make a ton of money in flip phones, which HEAVILY skews their numbers.
You haven't pwned me, you won't pwn me. You'll keep smashing your face into the keyboard until someth...

Some gems:
"Interestingly, Apple still avoids giving a per-unit revenue figure"
And then there is the conclusion:
...
If we divide that number by the 8,737,000 units, we get $625.71 per unit. Now add the $21.88 subscription revenue and the total is $647.59 per unit. Again, this includes all money the carriers pay and all accessories revenue, whether Apple-branded or third-party royalties. It probably does not include app revenue, and there’s no way to tell from Apple’s public numbers what portion Apple attributes to the hardware sale itself. The result does make me wonder how much, at least, the average iPhone use
