Amazon, Apple and the beauty of low margins
...Some might say that Apple doesn't have the right mindset to play low-margin offense, that it's against their nature. But they've effectively dominated and wrung every last drop of money from the iPod market using pieces of this strategy, and they have the operational expertise and vertical integration to achieve it. In fact,Apple now turns its inventory more times a year than Amazon, by a healthy margin, a staggering fact.
I haven't mentioned Google much, but like Amazon they will continue to attack Apple at the low end with their strategy of subsidizing businesses with their core ad revenue. For the forseeable future, Apple will have these two giants snatching at their feet. It's a high pressure, high stakes game. Wouldn't it be nice to trade some margin for higher castle walls, just for peace of mind?
I can't imagine having to deal with this little asshole.
Actually I dealt with a lot of them, but there was always an alternative, now there isn't.
