Appel Stores profit margins

[Chip Fetrow]

The Dollar Stores sell off surplus inventory, sold to them a very deep  
discounts.

On the other hand, Apple wants profits.

Put the similar objects on either side of the fence, and you are going  
to see different prices.

HOWEVER, who wants to put a HUGE bumper on the edge of a very elegant  
phone?

I recently sat a a breakfast with my father.  He was absolutely amazed  
my phone was the same phone as my brother's and initially refused to  
accept it.

I have an iPhone 5.  My brother had an iPhone 5 with a huge bumper  
around it.

I just don't get it.  Why pay extra for a slim phone when one can pay  
much less for a big phone that is harder to hurt?
