Every time Apple launches a new iPhone on the market, it is torn apart and all of its components to view individual cost from each of them. This allows us to obtain an approximate idea of ​​the cost of all the components of that iPhone model, a value that is nothing like the real one since design, development, research, marketing, distribution processes and a thousand other things are not taken into account. . Still, we all know that Apple's profit margin is high, there is no doubt about that judging from its financial results.
In the case of the iPhone 5s, the total cost of all its components is around $ 191 for the 16GB model while, 210 dollars if the capacity increases to 64GB. Here is one of the culprits of the great benefit of Apple and that is that while it costs them 19 dollars to increase the capacity, they charge us an additional 200 euros and here there is no cheat or cardboard.
The report provides the cost of some components of the iPhone 5s:
- Screen: $ 41
- Apple A7 processor: $ 19
- Fingerprint reader: $ 7
In the case of the iPhone 5c, the cost of all its components ranges between 173 dollars and $ 183 for the larger capacity model. The Apple A6 processor costs $ 13 and assembling the entire terminal only costs $ 7.
As a curiosity it is not bad but obviously, nobody can affirm that if it costs Apple 191 dollars to make an iPhone 5s then they earn 458 dollars because it is not real, you have to take into account a lot of additional costs that are not included in the study.
