It goes without saying that each new release of a smartphone or any high profile device would lead to pundits scratching their heads and calculating just how much was spent to make up the sum of the parts of a particular device. The same goes for the recently announced iPhone 4S, where analysts claim that Apple currently forks out around $203 to manufacture each 32GB iPhone 4S.

That might sound like a lot, but if you are going to purchase the handset outright before counting a carrier subsidy, then an unlocked 32GB iPhone 4S would set you back by $749 instead. Bear in mind that these figures were quoted from research firm UBM TechInsights, and the $203 price point is pretty much in a similar range that Apple paid to make the iPhone 4 in 2010.

That roughly equals to a similar level of profit margin, where this particular preliminary projection comprises of $26 for the new A5 processor and $31 for the Retina display.
