YouTuber restores a completely broken Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, but the "most expensive phone to repair" set him back an additional US$760

Even factoring out their labor costs and bulk part discounts, the Korean giant is still likely making a substantial loss on each Samsung Galaxy Z Flip it repairs.

I doubt this, the bulk part discounts are likely substantial, not to mention the fact that sourcing repair parts for a novel and relatively scarce device is likely to command a huge premium.

That's more than I paid for my Z Flip! Its official price here in Saudi Arabia is a little over $1000 but one of the carriers over here offers it for $736 SIM-free and that's what I paid for it this past December.
