Which do you think costs more per pound a commercial airplane or a smart phone. Take a guess before you scroll down.
To figure this out roughly you have to know how much each of them weighs and how much they cost.
A smart phone weighs about a half a pound and costs about $800
A Boeing 737 weighs about 90,000 pounds costs about 100 million dollars
So doing the Math a smart phone costs about $1,600 per pound and a 737 costs about $1,100 per pound.
I know there are lots of variables in the prices, discounts and weights but by my rough calculations smart phones by weight are more expensive than modern commercial jet planes.
If you don’t agree you can show me how I’m wrong in the comments.

Since you are “always certain and often wrong” I am using that as my criteria that you are wrong (although you probably are right) What costs more per pound Walter or a cell phone?
