Designed by Apple in California a Assembled in china. Two inscriptions, two stories. At first glance, nothing interesting for the customer, just the text on the back of the iPhone, which just gets in the way and the average customer will just think that everything is made in China these days, even the "famous" ones iPhone. And actually he is right, because China is something for all companies that makes them earn so much and for Apple that applies 5 times more.
Sign Assembled in china when iPhone The 6 Plus hides the amount of $242. Yes, that's right, some 5 CZK. In the case of a smaller iPhone 6, the production price is set at $227, or about 5520 CZK. You might think that these amounts are really ridiculous and that Apple is only trying to collect as much money as possible, but it is very important to realize what the second inscription hides.
But we can still have AppI don't blame you. Bigger iPhone The 6 Plus costs $100 more than iPhone 6, which in our country is even 3200 CZK. But why, when the production costs are only 364 CZK higher than for the smaller brother and all the costs listed above are also exactly the same? Because the trend of a $100 more expensive little brother has been established in the technological world from the past by large Android phones, so why should it Apple do otherwise. And even if he wasn't Apple would introduce it. It doesn't make sense for iPhone 6 cost $749 and iPhone 6 Plus $764. Most people would go for the larger iPhone 6 Plus, which would make a big difference to the iPhone 6. You might think that almost everyone would choose based on how big the display is, but the iPhone 6 Plus's better price for longer battery life and a better camera would make a big difference, and smaller iPhone would suffer.
Anyway, the article wasn't really supposed to teach us why iPhone 6 Plus is $100 more expensive, but rather just to inform about the approximate manufacturing cost of both iPhones. I used the term “approximate” quite deliberately, because Tim Cook announced in the first quarter of this year that he had never seen accurate estimates of the production cost of any Apple product, including the latest ones Apple Watch.

However, the costs of researching new technologies are rarely reflected in the new product. There is still no 4K video support, there is still an 8 mpx resolution of the rear camera and a 1,2 mpx front camera.
Unfortunately, the worst thing is the price increase by 100 euro for each higher capacity, it costs the extra 15-30 dollars in production.
I admit that the price of the 6 Plus could have been lower, as it is the same phone as the 6, only it has a larger display and OIS.
Those prices are still nothing compared to Samsung, which you can get for a 32 GB S6 edge + is asking $815 and $915 for the 64GB model, while their price will drop by $200 in a few months.
Only maybe he has the highest profit margin, but at least he created something profitable from the last ones :D
Of course, unlike other manufacturers, they have to Apple to pay the 20 programmers who develop new software. :)
I think it's more that others, thanks to the fact that Android can be on any device, can't afford to give them any margin at all to compete with them and have aanceven if people buy it

Amnart: you can easily have 100. developer, and until you release it to customers, even thousands of testers cannot simulate the behavior of hundreds of millions of users. As if other systems did not have errors, this is already a written defense that any OS can be issued without errors.
