bill of materials” for the headset at $1,542, and that doesn’t include the costs of research and development, packaging, marketing or Apple’s profit margin.

And the software development. I wouldn't be surprised if the total cost is close to the market price. Apple doesn't really need to make profit with this, but to create a market first.
