2 个月前I don’t know what exactly you’re referring to but I assume you mean the bill of material cost that sometimes goes around in headlines like “new phone only costs $150 to produce and is sold for $500” or something like that.
That’s a flawed way of looking at it because it ignores things like:
- Shipping cost (both the final product and individual components)
- Development cost
- The % the retail store takes
- …
And of course profit which ideally is used to finance the development of the next device and ofc the greedy execs at the end who put the rest in their pockets (that’s the only part which you can actually cut)
yea + milk those rich people
