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.
