Cost ande Profit

Note all the article is about screwing price (not cost) from suppliers. Unlike every other major electronic supplier Apple do not compromise margin to them. Eventually they run out of people to get the price reductions from. The changing of component suppliers is a regular thing, now that Foxcon cannot invest in manufacturing capacity and reduce the price they go somewhere else for the build, heaven help the guys at Foxcon
