iPad 3 Profit Margin?

last year apple added:
dual core processor
new design
smart cover magnets
cameras

none of these things(beside r&d a5) seem expensive parts.

year:
retina display(the cost of must huge. afaik no such screen shipping in product.)
quad core or improved dual core a6( dont see how won't @ least expensive a5)
massively improved graphics(implied retina display)
better cameras
4g lte
double capacity? (big if, huge apps made display, seem user friendly.)

if apple retains $499 price point ipad 3, predict margins be? think they'll cut cost in other obvious way(the iphone 3g had dock sold separately).

apple has lot of buying power, seems excessive. thoughts?

 

who cares? ifixit or else teardown , cost estimate of parts after comes out.
