> "Note that the bill of materials doesn’t include other costs like R&D, marketing shipping, warranty and customer support and so on."
Also, software development. But, there still will be plenty of people who doesn't understand that; though usually they are more active about Apple's BoMs.

First of all, this does not include assembly/testing/other testing and safety mumbo jumbo.
2, 469 for the bare parts is pretty cheap. And if you do the math, Qualcomm gets a 165 every S23U sold (base model).
If you can get all the parts and assemble it yourself, you can make your own S23 by hand and mod it, lol.
