If this costs them 549 per the image, and they are selling it for 1099, they are definitely making a profit.

Based on the image this is for parts only. This doesn’t look like it takes into account everything else involved such as shipping, packaging, marketing, research and development and much much more.

You can still argue iPhones are overpriced but you also have to factor in more than just price per part.
