Genuine question: How much does the camera component on the Nexus 4 cost? How much more is the iPhone 5's camera?

iFixit supposedly has the iPhone 5 (not 5S) rear camera listed for $40 here: http://www.ifixit.com/iPhone-Parts/iPhone-5-Rear-Camera/IF11...

I imagine there is a substantial software component cost associated with it too...
