Windows 7 costs $1.20 to make. 20 cent dvd + 20 cent packaging + 80 cent booklet (or whatever is in there.)

A high end CPU costs below $3 in material costs. (Numbers purely guessed)

Given these examples I find it wrong to accuse Apple for selling the iPhone at that price point. At least to me these "Product X costs Y USD in production" articles sound a bit accusing.

How can you claim this if your numbers are purely guessed?
