Apple wins lawsuit over Samsung

I want a circle phone.

I don't give a shit about LTE since we don't have it and probably wont get it for another 5 years or so.


When you look at the price of phones without contracts, does the manufacturing cost even come close to that?

When you factor in the R&D, FCC testing, Bluetooth inter-op testing, type approval, customized SW for carriers, etc., yes. The budget to develop and produce a cell phone would blow your mind.

That sucks. I'd buy a new phone every 6 months if they were reasonably priced.
