I'm pretty sure apple is an outlier, and their margins are hardly razor thin. The iphone's margin has been estimated anywhere at about 60-75%.

This argument might apply to commodity grade electronics, but not to apple.

Manufacturing margins are razor thin. The brand names pocket all the profits, the people producing commodity parts and assembling them get nothing, which is my entire point.

And no, Apple is not an outlier in that regard, even though they pocket more than HP, Dell, etc.
