    That's actually not what I expected I heard most providers take losses on their phones to earn money off the rate plans, although I guess because apple is just a cell phone manufacturer they need higher profit margins.

    Im more suprised that the iPhone 4s costs $200 in America,
    When it costs $999 in Australia.
    (On AT&T, Verizon,
    and Sprint.

    Available October 14

    Starting at $199*)

    Its nice to all electronic products the same thing. This is not a surprise. If you are on eBay and many websites store their real RIPP1 dollars / feet, imagine how much it costs..

    It's well known that markups on phones are 300%+

    No surprise, apple spends a fortune on marketing/etc
