There are many good reasons Apple is #1.
Here is the best reason. They put this at #3. I think it should be the #1 reason.
3. High margins
Apple’s gross margins are over 41 percent and have risen consistently over the last several quarters. These margins are unprecedented in the hardware industry and make the company more valuable to investors who are concerned with the cost of goods. Apple, because of its size and huge cash balances, can choose the best suppliers and pressure them for the lowest component costs. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44090899/ns/business-us_business/#.TkMz...
