The Profit Margin on the iPod nano

Posted by Zonk on from the white-gold dept.

Ant writes "BusinessWeek Online reports that researcher iSuppli took a look inside the iPod Nano to find out how much Apple is making off it, and who supplies its parts. From the article: 'Apple has sold some 16 million iPods in the first nine months of fiscal 2005, and 21 million since its inception. Thus far in fiscal 2005, the iPod has brought in $2.6 billion in revenue, accounting for about 25% of Apple's total.'"

  1. Profit = Evil??? by MrLogic17 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Why is it assumed that profit is a bad thing?

    If Apple wasn't making money off the iPod, *that* would be a bad thing. For many thousands of employees!

    All these articles lately make me think the editors have gone commie/socialist on us....
