Whenever there is an argument over Apple and Microsoft, I always bring in a point of “affordability”.
All the Apple products are targeted towards the affluents. The ratio of number of people wanting to own a Apple gadget to those who fulfill their desire by owning one is very high, what I mean to say is majority of the people can’t afford Apple gadgets. iPod was an exception it had cheaper variants and they sold like hot cakes.
Its a very valid point that Ballmer makes about the pricing of iPhone. Everyone wants an iPhone, but how many of us will acutally buy one is to be seen.
Cockamamie Theory 
Ballmer got a point, apple products are a bit pricy. But I also think that you get what you pay for. So if you pay abit more you get a good product that actualy works. But the price could be a bit less, wouldent hurt me at least š
