nospamYou don't get much competition when no one but Apple (or it's very small number of authorized resellers, who are tightly price-controlled) sells Apple products. --

I'm just not what "position" that's supposed to be, here? I mean, the points he posted above are just basic facts.
The first; "competitve doesn't mean below cost" is just a very truthful statement. One can be competitive without undercutting competitors, just look at Apple.
Apples and oranges, if I may be so bold. Apple doesn't compete with anyone;
nonsense. apple competes with every other company making similar products, including computers, phones, tablets, mp3 players and numerous accessories.
He's not talking about Apple. He's talking about Apple sales outlets.
same thing in this case. the stores compete with non-apple stores selling non-apple products (and even apple products).nospamEric StevensScott Schuckertnospam

so what?
So there is no real competition between Apple sales outlets, at least not to the extent that there is between independent camera stores.
nonsense. of course there is.
