Mark Zuckerberg recently suggested that Apple is too profit-obsessed and overcharges consumers for its products.
Apple is essentially squeezing Facebook’s primary revenue stream and Zuckerberg, not surprisingly, isn’t too thrilled about it. To this point, Zuckerberg recently took a shot at Apple’s unannounced AR headset. Yes, Zuckerberg is now lashing out at Apple over a product that doesn’t even officially exist yet.
“It’s typically people build hardware and they try to make a profit off of it,” Zuckerberg said. “Where if you’re Apple, you build hardware and you charge as much as you can for it.” We’re going to build the best hardware in the space and we’re going to basically sell it at a break-even point and in some cases, maybe even slightly at a loss in order to basically help grow the ecosystem with the business model of basically having the revenue come through software and services.
