:wtf: Interesting Question

[Pohm]

While I am waiting for my iPhone 4 to arrive at vodacom I will take a few moments to ponder this..

What is the difference hardware wise between a Ipod touch and Iphone?
Yea, I know the iPhone has the sim card holder + gsm aerial.. is there any other differences that would cause the iPhone to cost between R6000 to R8000 more than the iPod touch?
I think not.. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

So, what do you think??

The real answer is it doesn't cost that much to build! That's why Apple make the largest profit on the iPhone section of their business - about 40%!

Well iPod touch costs R2200-3000, iPhone costs R7000, for a difference of R3800-4000.
To be fair the iPhone has a lot more in it:
Much Better cameras (actually the best camera in a smartphone)
Better screen - true IPS technology for better viewing angles, although they're the same res. (best screen in a smartphone too)
Larger battery (since 3G uses a lot more power)
Better speakers
And of course the 3G, GPS chips etc.
