That's fair. I did completely omit the R&D costs.
I did some basic research again (last comment was on the toilet) and everything I am finding says that Apple's Iphone margins are sitting at around 40%.

Especially because a lot of Apple products' value proposition comes from the ecosystem of their services, including the ability to visit a retail store and talk to a W-2 employee of Apple (which sets them quite apart from basically every other electronics brand). You can see their overall profit margin though, which they keep around 25%: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/profit-margins https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/profit-...
