Bloomberg terminal owners on Monday afternoon were given an unusual pre-announcement cost breakdown of what the next iPhone will cost. Making assumptions that Apple will use a dual-core A5 processor, 512MB of RAM, and 16GB of storage, analysts expected it would cost $270 to make in raw parts. The difference would leave Apple with a 56.4 percent gross profit if Apple charges a net $620, although this doesn't include marketing and some other costs.
