Interesting how price expectations have changed. In 2007, the original iPhone cost $400 and was considered crazy expensive for the time. Now $750 is Apple's "budget" option.

3G was also plastic shit and cracked in less than a year most times. Cost of parts was probably waaay lower.
I really wish they released numbers on their costs after enough years have passed that it's no longer a trade secret. Would be interesting to see how margins have changed over time
