Although the price of iPhones minihas not changed much in the USA for years, practically every year apple lovers are interested in how much of it Apple he actually needs to produce a given iPhone and how much he can "pocket" so to speak. It is precisely for this reason that a lot of different surveys and analyzes are created, which try to reveal the production price, and although due to the relatively small number of innovations in iPhones recently, they are not very different, it is quite interesting to look at them. The Nikkei portal has now come up with one such analysis, the results of which you can view in detail below.

The difference in the production and selling price of iPhones 15 (Pro) may seem at first glance to be absolutely enormous, but on the other hand, it is worth adding in one breath that we are looking at a comparison of the selling price with price componeents and assembly work. It is therefore important to take into account the fact that the production price does not include the development of the device, subsequent testing, transport and packaging, marketing and many other things associated with the launch of its sales. It is for this reason that the boss himself Applu Tim Cook years ago he declared that he had never seen an estimate of the production cost including all the important indicators that came even remotely close to the reality with which Apple calculates Of course, we can only guess whether he was fabulating at the time or not.

I don't care about fandom and I'm interested in it, and every year this article has a good readership :)
No, it's about writing what people enjoy reading and you don't determine that, but the numbers...
I was actually expecting much lower production costs.
It looks legit to me, they have just the right amount, nothing overdone.
