The biggest competitor of the Samsung Galaxy S21+, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro, was recently disassembled by TechInsights, and the approximate cost of all parts is calculated to be $570. This means that it is more expensive to manufacture than the Galaxy S21+. However, both phones are sold abroad with a price tag of 999 dollars.
According to the same source, the estimated cost for the Galaxy S21+ is around $508. The iPhone 13 Pro seems more expensive to manufacture, at least when it comes to parts cost. However, it is important to note that the parts list does not include any R&D and shipping or other costs.
Another remarkable point is that the production cost of the iPhone 13 Pro is more expensive than the iPhone 12 Pro. The estimated part cost of the model that Apple launched last year was $548.

These costs show that unlike Samsung, Apple has spent more on iPhone parts over the past year. By contrast, the Galaxy S21 Ultra was estimated to be around 12-13 percent cheaper to manufacture than the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and was $200 cheaper when the 2021 high-end phone was finally released.
