Software is not a “component.”

Those are manufacturing costs.

“Notably, this doesn’t account for things like research and development, marketing, and other non-hardware costs for Apple. Even when you factor those in, the WSJ says “there’s still a healthy profit margin” for Apple.”

Software is a non-hardware cost.
