The prices of technological devices sold in our country continue to rise day by day. While buying these products, the same question appears in our minds. Does it deserve this price? Of course, to understand this, we need to look at how much profit it provides to its producers. Today, the production cost of the iPhone 14 series has emerged.
How much does the iPhone 14 cost to manufacture?
Apple is not the company that sells the most smartphones when compared to manufacturers on the Android side. However, although it sells less than its competitors, it manages to earn many times more than them. The biggest reason for this is that the selling price of the devices is lower than the cost.
According to the leaks that emerged today, Apple opened the mouth of the pouch for the iPhone 14 Pro. The biggest reason for this is the A16 Bionic processor, which costs 2.5 times (about $110) than its predecessor, and the 48 Megapixel sensor, whose cost has increased by 50 percent as it has grown by 30 percent.
Despite this, when we look at the production cost of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, we see that it is 501 dollars. The iPhone 13 Pro, which went on sale last year, was produced for $ 570 due to chip crisis problems, and Apple reduced its profit margin.
Therefore, although the production cost per part of the new series has increased, the overall production cost has decreased in an interesting way. In addition, considering that Apple does not use the A16 Bionic and 48 Megapixel sensor in the iPhone 14 and Plus models, as in the Pro series, the profit margin has increased considerably.
