That’s basically the problem with this kind of analysis, these are basically guesses, the real cost for that and any of the custom components could be 50% less or 400% more… What costs are they assuming is included in the BOM cost of the SoC? Mask sets and manufacture? NRE or no NRE? All of this makes a huge difference, but they don’t actually know what Apple pays for any of it…
