put the cost of adverts and the price will sky rocket. This is actually a total rip off all things considered but since I don't buy the phone I won't complain.

La click la my iphone 7 brick.

but it's not by force to waste money now, make them kuku use their phone or those not interrogated by EFCC can help them patronize

Hehe
You think they're just selling build parts
You know how much it takes to develop ios 10

paramount amongst all they're selling their intellectual property nd can decide to put wateva premium they deem fit.

You think its easy to develop a brand like apple. Start your own company nd talk to me after 10yrs

Workmanship?
Patents and legal issues?
Advertising?
Research?
Salaries?

Points well noted, all the same Apple products are still way overpriced in my opinion..

Hey guys, please take out some time to check out my blog: ihuomakelechi..com . I try to highlight important social issues (especially in Nigeria) through interesting stories . Also, please don't forget to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks!!

Bullshiit! In as much as I am an engineering student who has been involved in engineering manufacturing I call this post Bullshit.

I am not an apple fan and I don't use any of her product but you don't bring up shiit cos you think it's overhyped. A phone manufactured with GaN components is what you claimed to be this cheap?
Moreover research and development is the most expensive part of manufacturing.

Rubbish post.

You forgot to include, prices used in paying researchers, bug testers and identifiers, developers, amounts used in shipping the phones all over the world, also advertising , the cost of giving out replacements on warranty.. InShot whoever started this comparison is a novice in running a company.

OP, oya go and buy your own parts and build your own iPhone 7 or whatever name you want to name it.
