A few weeks ago, Apple announced that its highly anticipated iPhone X would arrive on September 12 (in some countries) and would have a price of about $ 999, something that is not too surprising knowing the company's pricing policy, but without a doubt, as it comes being custom in Apple, a device that is not available to everyone. Today I want us to see, how much it costs for Apple to make an iPhone X. Let's see it!
Of course, the iPhone X is a quality smartphone, which incorporates the best of the best without any expense whatsoever. The prices discussed below, are extracted from a Chinese medium called iChunt, and are mere estimates-quite right-that will not be far from reality, so we can get an idea of what it costs to make an iPhone X.
How much does it cost to make an iPhone X
$ 80 - 5.8-inch OLED screen manufactured by Samsung, the most expensive piece.
$ 45 - 256GB NAND internal memory manufactured by Toshiba.
$ 24 - 3GB of RAM manufactured by Nissha Printing Co.
$ 26 - 10-nanometer A11 processor, manufactured by TSMC.
$ 18 - Telephone modem, manufactured by Qualcomm.
36 $ - Steel phone chassis.
$ 25 - 3D facial detection sensor.
$ 18 - Crystal that covers the screen.
Total manufacturing: $ 272
In addition to this, of course we would have to add all the costs derived from the sale and promotion of the iPhone X, in addition to other components that includes the phone (cheaper than the ones that I just showed) that are estimated at 90-130 dollars , in this way, Apple's total cost of manufacturing and selling each iPhone X unit:
Total cost of the iPhone X: 360-400 $
In this way, we would be talking about a profit margin of approximately 60%, not bad! Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, successor to Steve Jobs, announced that he expects his company to enter close to 90 billion dollars, very little, right?
And you: Did you expect such a cost? What surprises you most?
