I have no idea what the manufacturing cost of an Iphone is but it's probably the development cost of any bleeding edge phone as well as support costs and marketing costs and manufacturing costs that makes the price so high.
And you can buy a perfectly good phone these days, one that's as good as an Iphone for reading, for a small fraction of the Iphone's price.
