I've often wondered the same thing myself - I sometimes wonder if HTC is soaking up massive profit margins, being both the ODM and brand rolled into one. It may be though that Apple, with the number of iPhones they're selling, is able to get much better deals on components than HTC, and thus have a lower cost. But even that doesn't make much sense given the overall number of phones that HTC moves every year...
