Is a celular radio really $400 or so? Or why is there such a different pricing scheme?



The iPod touches also have lower-quality displays, lower-capacity batteries, base units have less storage capacity, usually have older or slightly underpowered A chips, and lower-quality materials leading to a slightly inferior build quality compared to iPhone.

(Also, iPod touch hasn't been updated for three years)


That is true today, but when back when the iPhone was released they were almost identical, sans the cellular radio, speaker, and microphone.
