I'm getting tired of Apple!! Seriously, people make Apple seem much more important and bigger than they actually are. The only reason they make such gigantic profits is because the cost of producing their products is less than a eigth of what they are sold for!! And for some reason, all their fanboys just have to buy the latest iphone or ipad every year. 

Funny, that's how I feel about Google and Android. 

I have several Apple products, but do not own an iPhone as I think that anyone who spends $100+ a month for a cell phone plan is nuts!  That goes for all the Android $100+ a month plans too. 

Now, if you truly believe that Apple hardware is manufactured at 1/8th the selling price, you need to do your homework.  Most people who are repeat Apple customer are so because they have an unmatched build quality and a hassle free ease of use (most times).

Well those figures were for the old iphone. The new one is  more expensive, but it still gives Apple a HUGE amount of money. According to this article, it costs Apple $168 to make an Iphone and they sell it for $649. That's still a very large profit mark up. Also, they make so much money from Itunes as well.
