The value of all raw materials in an iPhone 6 (16GB) is just $1.03. These materials range from aluminium (31.1g) to hydrogen (5.5g) and chrome (4.9g).

38.5 percent of the phone is made of aluminium and iron, worth $0.055 and $0.002, respectively.

The value to users - in design, functionality, and brand is on a completely different scale!
