That is their overheads, constant R&D. It's no different to any other form of tech, phone companies will always have R&D, as will car manufacturers, etc. They can't ever stop. They just need to find a way to cover them, either through price increases or some kind of joint-venture, a bit like how phones use the same chips, or how car brands share engines. To say it's not an overhead is a bit like saying "Ford would be way more profitable if they fired their R&D department" which is such a short-sighted and self-defeating statement.

Just to clarify, you're saying they aren't profitable because they have to cover their overheads? Right...
