GranTurismo 11/10/23 3:23:05 PM #1:	A lot of people complain about how much a new cell phone costs, esp. if you're buying it separately and not signing up for a phone plan but all the good cell phones have a camera that is better than those kinda old point and shoot canon cameras, they have an mp3 player and they have a gps too that you used to have to buy a separate garmin for. So do many of you think it might be like over 1000 bucks for them to manufacture one? <cite>GranTurismo posted [p:977143783] in How much d...

NoxObscuras 11/10/23 4:08:35 PM #7:	Well the iPhone 14 costs around $450-500 to make, based on the cost of the components. But they sell it for $799 to $999 depending on the model. They are definitely taking their customers to the cleaners with markups like that. --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:977144478] in How much d...
