Link: What the iPhone Will Cost to Make (http://www.macbytes.com/link.php?sid=20070122220140)
Description:: But given the complicated economic workings of the wireless phone business, will the iPhone be profitable? It sure looks like it. Silicon Valley market research firm iSuppli, which specializes in tearing down popular electronic gadgets to figure out how much they cost to make, estimates that Apple will be sticking to its usual script with the iPhone and pricing the device such that it can expect a gross margin of about 50%. That gives Apple plenty of room to cut prices as component costs fall or to stimulate demand.
