"Is an iPhone a product or a service? The cost of the raw material content in an iPhone may be less than six dollars (Rs 512). The global transportation cost and labor content for each iPhone (components and finished product) may comprise another $ 150 (Rs 12,821) at most. Yet the phone sells for over $ 1,000
(Rs 85,473). The bulk of an iPhone’s value, therefore, is not in matter
but in thought — in intangibles.”
