I would love to be a fly on the wall when the unit price calculation for some high tech item is made. I wonder if it just goes like “component x + y + margin%”… what those components are in stuff like processors, screens etc must be so interesting!

It cost us $X billion to set up the line, materials, marketing etc. We expect to sell $Y quantity. Price = $X / $Y.
Or more usually, it seems: "We think we can get $N for it; so if we can make it for $N/10 we'll announce production and find a manufacturing partner to make them for us on credit."
