I think this is a great price for the latest iPhone with massive 256gb memory brand new! This is locked to EE network. This retails nearly £799 I think so great saving.

As a TV prog showed last year they cost £6 in parts to produce in a Chinese sweat shop.
Apple products are like jewelry or designer clothes , you are paying over the odds for the hype and image and clever marketing.

Go get your £6 worth of parts and build yourself one, in fact build me one whilst you're at it I'll even pay you £12.
There is a brand value attached to apple products, no argument there, but there is with everything you buy.
This deal is HOT

Your saying that the cost of materials to build an iPhone is £6? What have you been smoking?
Parts will be a fraction of the overall cost, as will profit margin, R&D, design costs, labour, transport and so on, but there is no way that the parts cost as little as £6!

No, you are paying for one of the most optimised & reliable mobile OS available with consistent updates, that runs really well even with low internal specs

You should stop watching tv. It's bad for you, and you might influence others with these kind of stupid comments. Problem with today's social media actually, too much fake news and idiots to believe it.

Even if the parts alone were £6 cost to Apple, that's a fraction of the price of the phone. I reckon one of these probably runs Apple of the region of £400

Well I agree with everything apart from "even with low internal specs".
It's well documented that after 2-3 years, Apple devices running iOS don't perform too well with the latest version installed.
