I see, but the most expensive components of a mobile phone are the internal parts (GPU, CPU, Display).

The Galaxy S5 was not much more expensive than other flagship phones released at a similar time, despite having a rubber band isolation in conjunction to replaceable battery.

I guess what they want is users to keep buying new phones.

Indeed. crApple inferiorPhones often had margins of 70% and more!

In 2014, the iPhone 6+ was the first phone to cross the €1000 barrier in Germany. I doubt it did even cost €300 to build.

The Galaxy S3 (2012) costed €600 on release date and dropped to €400 within weeks after release.
