APPLE Inc's HomePod, the company's first foray into speakers in a decade, costs US$216 to build and generates thinner profit margins than other products like the Apple Watch and iPhone, according to analysis by TechInsights.
Given the gadget's US$349 price, that US$216 cost suggests Apple is generating margins of about 38 per cent, said the product analysis firm.
