With the iPhone 5 cultmania taking place all weekend long (or until Apple’s inventory is completely sucked dry) – it makes you wonder, of all the cash that’ll be shelved out…how much of it is really paying for the iPhone 5 device itself. Sure you know that Apple will have somewhat of a markup…but when you compare how much it cost to make the phone and how much consumers are buying it for…it may surprise you…
The gorilla glass display and touchscreen: $44.00
Memory: $20.00
Improved camera: $18.00
Battery: $4.50
Processor: $17.50…
That’s not all…
The entire cost to manufacture an iPhone 5 device is only $206.85…and eBay already has listings of the device in the thousands??? So how much did you really pay for the device and how much did you pay for the Apple logo?
