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

That kind of analysis can be applied to most consumer goods.

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.

Imagine that. A company that's not giving away its products.

89 cents! But when i got home and did some research, and that salt only
cost 6 CENTS according to iSupply!

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 ****. Apple and Jobs run under the philosophy of P.T. Barnum or

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?
