it's the software+service+phone that make up the value (and final cost) of the phone. Not the individual physical parts.

Report is unclear that this refers only to the labor cost, and what's involved in that labor.

Is that $3.99 for someone clipping half a dozen parts together/watching robots, or is it $3.99 for 18 hours of soldering?

The parts cost around $188, according to iSuppli (http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns/News/Pages/iPhone-4-Carries...)
