You've a huge misunderstanding of iPhone profits. Reread the WSJ article you cite. Apple's gross profits per iPhone (telecom subsidy included)are estimated to be $400+ (not your $27).
"On a per phone basis, Wu estimated that Apple gets about $600 a phone..." from your WSJ source.

Apple buying Sony is a bad idea. The 35,000 employees at Apple would be outnumbered by the 100,000 ??? at Sony. This would threaten Apple's unique and incredible culture for focused excellence in all areas of business.
