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?*

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.

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.

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.
