iSuppli has once again dissected the iPhone and analysed the BOM and manufacturing cost. At a cost price of US$178.96 and the retail price at US$199, it seems that the margin for the phone is extremely low. But do note that US$199 is what consumers pay to the mobile carriers. Behind the scene, mobile carriers had actually absorbed much of the cost, but made their earning thru monthly subscriptions.
