in 2012 Apple will be on the 4th or maybe even 5th generation iPhone

Reguardless of weither or not the iPhone costs $173 to make, its no where near the $500 charge.

I know companies have to make money but it doesn't cost them near what they charge.

At the very highest, considering how many iPhones are made, its probably $250 per unit, that is counting every expense paid to the respective places (Manufacturing, licensing fees etc.) and they charge you $500.

I don't see the point of an iPhone, if you really need internet on your phone get a blackberry...

I'm sure Apple is making a nice profit...

But Landor is right. The "Bill of Material" cost doesn't cover everything. It only costs about $1 to make a CD, but the record companies still manage to loose money at $15 retail. (Of course, the record companies are not as well run as Apple...)
