  • For decades, Apple has had the highest marketing and the worst (lowest) R&D in all of high tech

    No high tech company spends *less* than Apple in R&D, proportionate to
    revenue (and a vast number of far smaller companies spend more in toto).

    It has been widely known by intelligent well-informed people, that, for decades, Apple has had the highest marketing & lowest R&D spend of all high tech - which even Steve Jobs openly admitted many times as covered prior.

    *Does it surprise you Apple spends less in R&D*
    *(proportionate to revenue) than similar tech companies?*
    <https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/STrAkx09VYk/>

    The question is whether or not Apple still has the bottom-of-the barrel
    lowest R&D spend based on percentage of revenue of all similar companies?

    NOTE: The ignorant uneducated Apple religious zealots will scream to defend Apple's atrocious R&D spending but they lack the math skills to take into account the size of Apple where companies 1/100th Apple's size spend more
    in total dollars, let alone similarly sized companies' spend in percentage.

    Also note the ignorant Apple religious zealots are incapable of clicking on links; so they'll claim that's "just a thread", which discounts the scores
    of well-researched well-publicized cites in that thread.

    Lastly, note the Apple zealots will brazenly lie to protect Apple's honor because they *hate* that Apple is all marketing and no R&D - where they
    will claim the total is more than companies which are 1/100th Apple's size (which simply proves that Apple spends almost nothing proportionality in
    R&D).

    There's a reason they sell sugar water to the masses making huge profits. Cigarettes too. And Apple products are profitable for the same reasons.

    Apple is all marketing and no R&D to speak of; it's a formula that only
    works because Apple caters to the least educated non-technical customers.

    False.


    It has been widely known by intelligent well-informed people, that, for decades, Apple has had the highest marketing & lowest R&D spend of all high tech - which even Steve Jobs openly admitted many times as covered prior.

    Why is proportionality important?

    R&D is done in relation to PRODUCTS.

    A company doesn't become more innovative if its revenues drop and it
    doesn't become less innovative if its revenues rise.


    The question is whether or not Apple still has the bottom-of-the barrel lowest R&D spend based on percentage of revenue of all similar companies?

    NOTE: The ignorant uneducated Apple religious zealots will scream to defend Apple's atrocious R&D spending but they lack the math skills to take into account the size of Apple where companies 1/100th Apple's size spend more

    will claim the total is more than companies which are 1/100th Apple's size (which simply proves that Apple spends almost nothing proportionality in R&D).

    Again, the simple fact is that many companies spend far more than Apple
    on marketing.

    Arlen. You are a primitive and brain dead Troll.
    You are not capable of interpreting the information. Apple must be
    incredibly efficient. If this information were correct, which it is not.
