It also takes into account all other fees "Associated" with bringing in the iphone ready to be distributed at the point of sale. Apple makes a killing off each iPhone, yes, but not quite $780 per each iphone. Otherwise that would mean Apple brought in about 1 Billion dollars in just a 2 DAY Weekend! So considering the nearly 25 million iphones sold to date, that means Apple would have brought in approximately 19 BILLION dollars on just 1 phone. The iPhone. And that wouldn't include the huge revenue from The App Store. Numbers are off though. Sorry. "$780" includes the "Nominal Fee" for the Sim Card which is usually at least $50.
