> 95 million * a few pennies is still $950,000 at least. As long as that number is more than the salary of the person who was hired to make that button go away, in Apple's eyes that's good news.

While I appreciate how pedantic HNers can be, it’s meaningless because that’s not how Apple works.

Nobody at Apple is incentivized to shave pennies off the production cost of an iPhone.

This should be obvious in a world with plastic phones with off the shelf, generic components.

A multi-trillion dollar marketcap company doesn’t invest several billion dollars to create their own custom silicon to then change the design of their most profitable product to save a few insignificant cents.

Let’s be real here.
