The Cost of Building the New iPhone 5S and 5C,Samsung Galaxy S5 Case
According to a teardown analysis from IHS and obtained by AllThingsD, the cost of components and manufacturing for the iPhone 5C is from $173 to $183, depending on capacity and including $7 for assembly. The iPhone 5S costs at least $199 (for the 16 GB model) for components and assembly. What's more, IHS says that aside from the fingerprint sensor, A7 processor and new memory chips in the iPhone 5S, they're essentially the same phone. Of course, this is just the cost for components and assembly, and Apple has to factor other costs into the production of the iPhone, including shipping and marketing.
Bunch of Idealists. It's all about business even if you reverse apple with other companies. It would all be the same. The law of supply and demand. If you have demand even if artificial, why would you sell at a lower margin? The company needs the added cash to be on top. It is just a game believe it or not.
Grow up and don't think too much about being fanboys/gays. Buy what you need at the price you deem appropriate. Nobody is forcing you to buy anything from whichever companies. On an item that sells for $500, my cost will be somewhere between $410 and $440, meaning profit of 60 90, before overhead, rent, employees, power, etc, etc.
Having a profit margin of $450 on an item that sells for $650 would be absolutely godly. But, id feel pretty dirty making that kinda profit margin on items in that price range.
