That's the thing that always got me. Phones with more storage were always a huge money maker for cell phone manufacturers since it really didn't cost them that much more to put in and solder a $10 more chip. Seemed like a gross rip off for them to charge me 10x more than their actual cost.
From what I heard with the Nexus 4 it seemed like they were breaking even for each 8GB phone sold after warehouse, advertising, development costs etc and making only a measly $30 on each 16GB sold. I'm pretty sure pricing model is similar to that with the Nexus 5. Available to order again btw, but shipping is a month out. Will be ready as a Christmas gift at least for anyone still ordering.
