No I am debating why people precieve Apple as too greedy. They have their market and they have their niche. They know their customer well to price accordingly. Even if there should be a sudden increase in their price of phone, people would buy it anyway. iPhone is a status symbol now days its either you have it or not. People who cannot afford or just dont like them will go to Android non-the-less. So there is no point in discussing if Apple is ever greedy. They just want to make profit as any other business do.

I disagree.  It's in the nature of marketing to have to be greedy, and Apple is as guilty as the rest of them.  It is also very dishonest a lot of the time.  The dishonesty for me is trying to get its users to upgrade to newer models by getting older models to drag on newer OS.  The older models are still perfectly OK, however can't work with up to date OS.  And Apple knows this.  Apple used to be very good, when Jobs was still around.  Emphasis was on technology and phones were made to last.  But nowadays focus is on marketing, getting the new model out the door to make more money, even before the model is ready to be launched technically. Focus is also getting more on bells and whistles that aren't really needed. Apple nowadays is as dishonest as any of the other players out there and all of it being greedy to make more bucks for its share holders.
