An interesting read is also this thread:

Most Android smartphone producers are not profitable: Is 525€ really too much?

I just found this article via faire-computer.de: http://www.digit.in/general/apple-accounts-for-92-of-the-smartphone-industrys-profits-26568.html I think this is another argument for the opinion that 525€ is not too much for the Fairphone 2. Fairphone as a company can’t afford to make losses because they do not have other sources of income (e.g. Sony has TVs, Bluray-players, etc…). Edit: I’m adding @Ben and @nils because we had been discussing this in another topic.

Generally the price of the phone is also higher than other phones because of the relatively small quantities Fairphone produces (140.000 per year is nothing compared to iPhones and Samsung).
