Is the iPhone 5 a cheap plastic?

The cost of producing a single unit of iPhone 5 is said to be around $167 but the phone sells for about $199 to $399 depending on the memory size.

This means that Apple would be making over $30 for each and every single unit of iPhone 5 they sell.

Normally, this might have or should have been overlooked but the iPhone 5 lacks a single feature capable of making the news, it lacks NFC(Near Field Communication) which is now a standard in the smartphone market, even Nokia featured it in Lumia 920 using it for Wireless Charging.

Here is a list of the cost of some of its components;
· The 4-inch 1136x640 pixel display costs $18

· The touch screen $7.50

· One battery unit is $3

· The A6 processor $28

· The camera stands at $10

· The built-in WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS is $4

Putting everything into consideration,
Is the iPhone 5 a cheap plastic?

Featured Add-on: Adblock

Adblock is a content filtering add-on that enables a browser to block or eliminate ads(short for advertisement) on webpages which makes browsing sometimes annoying or less interesting. Ads causes distraction and other times slows down the loading of webpages as unwanted images and other contents ~still talking about ads~ are usually downloaded along with requested webpages. The downside of adblock is that it sometimes blocks innocent webpages but this happens on rare occasions. So if you are having problems with a particular webpage loading, you might want to temporarily disable it. Adblock can be installed as add-on any of the following browsers (listed in order of personal favourite); chrome, firefox, opera, safari and lastly ~ the browser used to download every other browser ~ internet explorer.
