Below, you can see how much does it cost to APPLE to manufacture each part of iPhone :

• Screen module (27 dolars) and touch screen Epson (24.50 dolars)
• Digital radio receiver Infineon (15.25 dolars)
• Graphics display chip National Semiconductor (1.50 dolars)
• Bluetooth chip CSR (1.90 dolars)
• Wireless internet chip Marvell Technology Group (6 dolars)
• Flash memory and Dram chip Samsung Electronics (76.25 dolars)

Of course, not all of the part manufacturers of iPhone was announced by iSuppli Corporation from England, who made this survey. No official cost analysis results were taken from companies like  Wolfson Microelectronics, which manufactures audio or other companies like Intel, Skyworks . Including assumptions for all other parts, iPhone is guessed to cost 266 dolars to APPLE. And the market price of iPhone is 600 dolars. If you take into account the marketing costs and copyrights and other patent costs, it is not very expensive. It seem that APPLE did not exaggerate the prices too much to be able to enter the market.

As an initial guess by iSuppli company, this year’s sales for iPhone will catch a number of 4.5 millions and will increase up to 30 million until 2011. Who knows that other innovative products will be released by other companies that may obsolete iPhone…
