It has been determined that a magazine like BusinessWeek costs a mere 36 cents to make, but they charge $2.95!
What a ripoff! |

Mactards don't care. They gladly pay 5 times as much for real old technology like is in the iPhone. As long as it's Apple they don't care what it cost in terms of money or chinese lives. |

Yup. It's exceedingly silly to ignore R&D costs with a product like the iPhone, which clearly has a massive amount of R&D in it.
In fact, as manufacturing gets cheaper in general, which it does every year, more and more of the value in physical products is going to be related to the intellectual property in them, rather than the physical manufacturing cost. People are already used to this with goods like software, which have next to no physical production cost already. |

yes, i was astonished when i bought a box of salt at walmart and it cost 89 cents! But when i got home and did some research, and that salt only cost 6 CENTS according to iSupply!
DAMN, i've never felt more ripped off in my life! |

You think you're and eagle in the industrial world trying to make it look as if Apple is ripping off the buyers of the iPhone, however being a sparrow you aren't about to fly with eagles.
It's obvious you know nothing of the cost of OEMimg a product. |

No shit. Apple and Jobs run under the philosophy of P.T. Barnum or whoever said, "There's a sucker born every minute" and "A fool and his money are soon parted."

except that Apple has always provided value above and beyond media hype, the iPhone ranks right up there with the microwave and pre-sliced bread! use one and you'll see! so P.T. Barnum had a "gig", but Steve Jobs provides the world great value, and will rank up there with Edison when his day is done. |

I'll be you think you provide better value in your cheap, cobbled together Windows boxes you sell, even to the point of thinking you have better components, spiffier cases and so on. |

Would you care to point us to a similar breakdown for a Treo or a Blackberry? |
