iphone's manufacturing cost is around $178,apple doesn't even need contracts to sell it at low price but they make money from it so they do it
but sony would need it sony will make a loss like they do always with their consoles at the start,they will release at$299 or lower
althought i want a phone integrated,i will even pay $500 if they integrate a phone into it |
