You are an idiot. This isn't your safeway shopping cart. You can buy all the pieces but you need to assemble them into a phone and load software to connect all the components. You are an idiot. This is not a simple look at how cheap the parts are.
Wow! You can make an iPhone for 187$??? Do it. I will buy two. Until you can do so, blow me. You are not buying arbitrary hardware, you are buying an iPhone 4.

Lmao what research? LG made the Retina display for a start, not Jobs and his 'Engineers'
-
you are a fool, how long do you think it takes to develop a new product, from design to software to manufacture, yes they buy parts in but you still have to develop, and test, things don't just fall together.... you are such a mug!!!!

Probably designed by apple but manufactured by Samsung. Foxconn assemble the iPhone (to the best of my knowledge) but that doesn't make it the "Foxconn iPhone 4".

IPHONEHACKS: EVERYTIME YOU GUYS PUT UP A PICTURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARTICLE EXPLAINING SOMETHING, OR IN THIS CASE GIVING DETAILS OF THE MATERIALS AND COSTS RELATED TO THEM, THE PICTURE IS ALWAYS SHRINKED, AND ITS REALLY HARD TO READ IT, A NICE LINK TO THE PICTURE (OR TABLE IN THIS CASE) WOULD BE NICE, OR AT LEAST A ZOOM FEATURE.

Right!
We as customers ending paying a fortune for iPhone 2,3G, 3G S and so on, of course they also(AT&T) want you to get screwed with 2 year string attached contract . If you are able to do math, you will realized that with the amount of dollars you have paid, you could've bought 5 brand new iPhones+service+fees. -
It's already out, check the old posting section or ask the devs team.
Good luck! -
Do you really beliave what you are saying? Don't forget all the costs that are including in manufacturing, design, programing, advertising, services, maintenance. Besides, ofcourse they are going to make money out of us, what would be the purpose of owning such a big compnies, if you can make money out of your products? We wouln't even have casinos for that matter :)
