Apple’s overall margins are around 35%. Where do you see that iPhone has 60% margins?

Apple over the years has an extremely consistent 60% margin on iPhone from BOM cost to RSP, that is excluding NRE, patents, Services, iOS, distribution and many other things. This distorted a bit once they introduce iPhone X in 2017 / 2018 along with their Services Revenue accounting changes.
