Good question. I don't have a good source, but this one guy tried to come up with a breakdown a few months ago and in parts alone he estimated $1529.
Inner and outer display including display lens: $840
Silicon content including M2 and R1 chips: $240
Sensors and cameras: $120
Battery: $18
Spatial Audio: $11
Housing, PCBS, cables, connectors, and packaging: $170
Assembly: $130
It aligns with the number in the article. The rest seems like a business decision.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
