if you drop an iphone into concrete it will not and android will more likely break this alone saves you the full cost of the phone

Anonymous, 14 Feb 2023Yes apple does better when it comes to iphone price.. Reduce the production price and incre... moreThe article says the build of materials is more expensive and labour costs have gone up with inflation so obviously production costs will have increased. The price has remained the same in the US. In Europe it has increased but that is mainly due to currency swings. Apple operates in US$ and the Euro depreciated against the dollar significantly since last year. Basically, all these companies start with a net profit margin they want to achieve and determine their prices based on this. Apple's net profit margin was 24.56% last year which is pretty high. Probably they are similar to maintain a similar profit margin this year for their shareholders. Flagships from all brands have a high profit margin but so far only Apple, Samsung and Huawei (in the past) have managed to have high sales in this segment. With Huawei out of the picture, Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo are fighting hard to try to be the next Huawei as that is where the money is and they all want to make as much profit as possible.

That's why mediocre products are sold are at high price and they buy them.

I was the guy who once said that your old iPhone XR is slower than midrange Samsung. Now you are saying that you want the S Series. What a turn tables😅
Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023$450 is cost of hardware, not final final price.
Seriously ppl here do not know this? 😂🤣Apple is making software and giving 5 years of support, advertising costs, etc...
Plenty of factors not included there.

Reduce the production price and increase the iphone price to customer
DaFink, 13 Feb 2023Whether that person has the exact answer or not doesn’t change the fact that they are correct ... moreObviously they will be getting all the parts for cheaper price as they will be ordering millions of parts
So actual cost for single iphone will be around 300$
Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023The comments whenever BOM price comes up on a phone is hilarious. This is purely cost if the m... moreThe BOM is if Apple built 1 unit of iPhone. The price for those components are much lower when buying in millions like Apple does so that 464 is gonna be much lower.
Yeah there's research, logistics, marketing, design etc but don't forget to dilute that money for all the millions of iPhones sold. How much those millions are gonna impact the price of ONE single iphone unit? 50? maybe 100? Not much more than that. The point is, Apple is making a ton of profit in every single unit of iphone sold, only apple fans don't want to see it. But is there anything wrong in making profit? of course not but don't deny it. Otherwise they wouldn't be making billions every year...
UltraHD, 13 Feb 2023Enlight us then, how much is the final cost? Since you seem to know everything. Whether that person has the exact answer or not doesn’t change the fact that they are correct in what they say, this report is only mentioning the BOM, one single aspect of the costs required to produce, supply and support the iPhone product line.
Or do you think Apple just say ‘oh look it’s time for a new iPhone’ and simply throw some money into the air and a bunch of materials magically come along and assemble themselves into new iPhones, then flocks of storks show up to swoop them all off to stores all over the world????

it's so funny) apple is so greedy) iPhone 15 will be even cheaper in production and even more expensive for consumers)
