Boobies: Fine then, art doesn't count. How about if you ate an orange for lunch. The seeds for it were essentially worthless, so in raw materials the orange you paid 75 cents for is zero. Of course, that not accounting for the cost of irrigation, pesticides and general care. Raw material costs mean nothing. Oranges are mass produced crap that start off at 75 times their original value, less than the iPhone 5's 4X mark-up from the cost of raw materials.
It's business, this is nothing new. Literally every industry is gimping you, not just Apple inc.
