For some interesting insight in this, Fairphone has published the cost breakdown of their phone [1]. It's quite a bit more expensive than similar phones, but only about €5 of that is justified by the "fair" part of the phone - most of it is just source materials being more expensive due to their small scale.

- blihp 8y agoThanks for posting this and it is quite informative re: BOM pricing. I suspect that Librem is having to do quite a bit more work on the software side than the Fairphone as their development costs appear pretty minuscule. Even so, based on this breakdown it's probably not as big a piece of the final price as I had guesstimated.
