Stating that the GPU in the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro looks the same except for the number of cores, the team states that the entry model has a four-core GPU and the Pro model has a five-core GPU. Additionally, according to the team, this is similar to the seven-core GPU approach on affordable M1 Macs and 8-core GPUs on expensive models. In addition, the Pro model of the series comes with 6 GB LPDDR4X RAM.
Along with the dismantled iPhone, it was also found that the 13 model had a 1.7 micrometer wide camera. Thus, it has been confirmed that lenses larger than the 1.4 micrometer lenses on the iPhone 12 are used. It is also stated that the Pro model has 1.9 micrometer cameras compared to the 1.4 micrometer camera in the previous model.
Defying its competitors with its own processors, Apple uses its own chips, including A15, Audio Codec and Audio Amplifiers, in the new iPhone series. It is stated that the Cupertinolu technology company supplies its other components from suppliers such as Qualcomm, KIOXIA, NXP, STMicroelectronics, USI, Qorvo and Broadcom.
In the light of all this information, it is claimed that the cost of the materials and components of the iPhone 13 Pro is $ 570. Thus, it is stated that the new model, which costs more than the iPhone 12 Pro, is sold for 1.9 times the production cost.
