运送 iOS 蓝牙配件的成本数量级
这是有关 iOS 设备蓝牙配件开发的指导请求。
公开的文档/讨论似乎有限；我认为这是由于 MFI NDA 造成的。
如果配件开发与一般 iOS 开发一样容易的话，我没有找到我所期望的 iOS 蓝牙配件的数量/种类。因此，我认为运输 MFI 配件会产生大量开销。
我的问题是：交付第一个 MFI 配件原型的开销是多少（MFI 费用、法律费用、开发硬件费用等）？我正在寻找特定于配件的成本组成部分，因此超出了正常的 iOS 软件开发工作。
1,000 美元？
10,000 美元？
10万美元？
如果保密协议不允许回答，也许您可以提供指导，告诉我在产生 MFI 注册费用之前，我可以在哪里提出此类一般性问题（DTS 票证？）。
This is a request for guidance regarding Bluetooth accessory development for iOS devices.
Publicly available documentation/discussion seems limited; I assume this is due to the MFI NDA.
And I didn't find the quantity/variety of iOS Bluetooth accessories I'd expect if accessory development was as accessible as iOS development in general. So I assume there is substantial overhead in shipping MFI accesories.
My question is: what was the magnitude of overhead to get your first MFI accesory prototype shipped (MFI fees, legal, dev hardware, etc)? I'm looking for the accessory-specific component of costs, so above and beyond the normal iOS software development work.
$1,000?
$10,000?
$100,000?
If NDAs preclude answering, perhaps you could offer guidance about where I can ask general questions like this (DTS ticket?) prior to incurring MFI enrollment expenses.

更新：
CoreBluetooth 是 iOS 5 中的一个新的公共框架；无需 MFI：

请注意，CoreBluetooth 仅适用于低功耗蓝牙，MFI 涵盖的旧 BT 内容似乎仍然受到限制。 iPhone 4S 是唯一支持 BLE 的 iOS 设备。
对于有效的 iOS 实现（和硬件开发套件）：

Update for this:
CoreBluetooth is a new public framework in iOS 5; no MFI required:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/bluetooth-dev/2011/Nov/msg00001.html
Note that CoreBluetooth is just for Bluetooth Low Energy, the old BT stuff covered by the MFI still appears to be restricted. The only iOS device shipping with BLE support is the iPhone 4S.

Ken Maskrey 的 构建 iPhone OS 配件 是一本很好的读物，可能是您对 MFi 程序最详细的描述将摆脱保密协议。它回答了您提出的大部分问题。
Building iPhone OS Accessories by Ken Maskrey is a good read and probably the most detailed account of the MFi program you'll get outside of the NDA. It answers most of the questions you've posed.
我正在开发一个 BT MFi 配件，我想说获得原型的成本至少为 10,000 美元。此外，只有一种可用的解决方案，即 CSR（剑桥硅无线电），并且对蓝牙的支持非常有限。获得完整的蓝牙支持需要额外花费 3,000 美元，所以除非您知道自己在做什么，否则会花费很多。
另外，销售产品时还需要支付许可费、特许权使用费等。
在新闻方面，苹果已经认识到这个 BT 配件对他们来说效果不太好，所以他们几乎要降低专利费了！
然而，这不是我的工作——我是一名工程师。
PS：我愿意接受有关此问题的私人消息；）
I am developing a BT MFi accesory, and I'd say the cost is at least 10,000$ to get a prototype. Also, there is only one solution available, from CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) and support is very limited regarding BLuetooth. It costs an extra 3,000$ to get full Bluetooth support, so unless you know what you're doing, it will cost A LOT.
Plus, there are the license fees, the royalties, and so on, when you sell the product.
On the news side of things, Apple has recognized this BT accesory thing is not working that well for them, so they are almost dropping the royalty fee!
However, that is not my job - I'm an engineer.
PS: I am open to private messages on this issue ;)
