And I think that price is what Apple pays for the phone (what I got from the article I read).
I'm one of the last people to defend Apple, but y'all are being extremely narrow minded

The iPhone X smartphone costs $357.50 to make and sells for $999, giving it a gross margin of 64 percent, according to TechInsights, a firm that tears down technology devices and analyzes the parts inside. The iPhone 8 sells for $699 and has a gross margin of 59 percent.

This is from last November, so those manufacturing costs are even less now.

The price isn't $999 because it costs so much more to make. Samsung has been making $650 OLED phones for what, 2-3 years? The price was set so high to artificially lower demand because Apple couldn't get enough OLED screens to make this the primary model that people bought.
