Compiling data from corporate reports and Bernstein estimates, iSmashphone’s eye-popping chart shows how much profit the iPhone generates compared to the rest of the industry. A previous estimate was a little more conservative (though still crazy). [iSmashphone]

Yeah, problem with statistic is that they are usualy false, I wouldn’t be suprised if that figure includes app sales. and as far as I see it apps are not phones… its software someone else makes

I’d believe this. COMEON! the touch is 1/3rd the price!! all its missing is the phone! of course there is a massive mark up! most clear cut proof of the apple tax ive seen.
also, it doesn’t matter whether in includes app sales or anything, all that matters is the margin, which is obscene.
