Reply to comment by SpaceAngel2001 in ELI5- Given the average cost of a cup of coffee is marked up about ~80%, why hasn’t a company come in and charge significantly less to take a greater share of the market? by Educational_Sir3783

Apple has billions and billions in net profit running a ~24% margin on their flagship products. Dollar General nets about $29k per store per year. Apple makes that selling 100 phones.
