Even with cost breakdowns, a modern iPhone (which mind you also has the extra expense of the cellular components) only comes out to about $220 or so to manufacture and keep in mind they are using fairly high end glass/metals and a ridiculously high resolution display which Nintendo wouldn't need.
The iPhone 6s chipset which is light years more powerful than a 3DS (or Vita) costs like 30-35 bucks. You could put that processor into a $150 portable if you really wanted to.
