    Did you forget to subtract parts and labor for the phones?

    Don't forget marketing. The BoM for the 16GB iPhone 5 is $199 + $8 for the labor coming to $207. So Apple lost money. :eek:

    No.

    You're also forgetting that Apple sells the phones to the phone companies for more than $199, so they made a lot more than that.
