iPod Touch to Gross Apple $1.54 Billion In 08 !!
By admin | December 18, 2007
A tear-down posted by BusinessWeek showing that the 8gig iPod touch is costing Apple about $150 to build, and that includes $40 bucks for the multi-touch screen. That comes out to a profit margin around 51% or about $150 profit per each of the $299 retailed priced 8-gigs. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster expects Apple to unload 9.1 million iPod touch units In 2008. That revenue for the iPod touch sells will account for around a third of Munster’s projected $10.0 billion 08 overall iPod sales. With those numbers in 08 Apple (according to some analysts)is set make about $1.5 billion in gross profit on the total iPod touch sales of about $3.08 billion
