> You can’t be successful to the level Apple is by only selling to rich people

Porsche and Ferrari come to mind...




Porsche and Ferrari combined don't have the market share for vehicles that Apple has on computers, so the comment is valid. Apple's market share is too large to just be for "rich people."


I'd guess both of them combined generate less revenue (or profit, for that matter) than just then 11-inch MacBook Air :D


That’s kind of the point. You can be successful with the rich as a target group – but you can’t be successful the way Apple is.
