LG Superfan, 26 Sep 2018So a $80 display cost $400 for repairs nice profitI don't know how much the back glass panel costs brand new, but the cost to replace it is 600$!!
My S8+ was 655$ and it is above and beyond the restricted iOS in every way.
Most of the times I understand the need to get a profit, but this is just stupid (on the clients side).
I would never pay for an apple product. And if someone gives me one as a gift I'd sell it the next day :)

You Know, Maybe I need to take Management Lessons from Apple... Titled:
How to make a fool out of your customer, Rob Them of all their money, And still make them fell like they are the Kings...
That should be a book, It'd be a best seller in Management students.

For being $443 to manufacture, they sure make it not worth it with the OS that can do less. Even if we Jailbreak, it's still not do as much as Stock Android.
Who am I kidding, we totally don't expect hackers using an iOS device to do like Watch_Dogs. With some android nutjobs like Alien who wants an unlocked bootloader just to give total control with their phone, I'm really concerned with what they're going to do with the unneeded power and control.

$443 is a bloated figure meant to justify the highway robbery price of the iphone Xses.

60% is too small compared to how big they are so these numbers are false. Usually margins are few hundrets of percent from production line to the end customer. A high quality flatblade wiper blade costs under 60 cent to produce but is being sold for 40 and more euros.
If you remove the tax, the margin of the reseller, the marketing and staff costs and the production price they are left with a small portion that could have never made them this big. If the prices of the parts are so expensive then samsung would be 10 times the size as they produce something for everyone.

There's a difference between making a profit and conning your customers. Apple is clearly doing the latter.
