R&D is a really big one though. It's a very high price for smaller volumes of phones but as soon as you get into the bigger quantities you can save on R&D (per model) and pocket the rest as profit.

To me it makes a lot of sense that privacy phones cost more, even if you could at most shave $100 off the price with selling data. It's economies of scale.
