How Much Does It Cost Apple To Create An iPhone?

Have I just made a cheesy YouTube video telling you that you can make your own iPhone device for cheaper? Well, no.

You see, knowing the cost of manufacturing iPhones will help you understand not just the current iPhone prices, but also other key decisions being made like their subscription plans and new Apple devices.

Let's find out how.

I came here after seeing a video of a dude saying it cost just $10 to make the iPhone 14 😂😂

[robertwolfgan]

Why is this video as well as the others so good and well made yet has only a few comments and views...?! I was shocked thinking it was a YouTube bug or something
Well, know this. You're awesome and you got a subscriber of me!

Somewhere around 215, 000, 000 iphones are sold a year it’s fine they earned they’re money

Its less than $12 to actually make the entire iphone 14 max

The pricing that you guys heard are retail pricing. Apple having the sheer volume is paying way lesser than what he described.

[Spronge]

For example, you say the chip alone costs 120. True, this is the price for a single chip. But they buy them in huge quantities and don"t pay 120/ piece.The same goes for all pieces in the phone.

5:14 “China is not the source of cheap labor anymore”
I wish you would have provided an example of cheaper places to manufacture cause I’m curious. I believe that there are skilled engineers in China but I’m sure Apple is finding a balance between cheap-ish labor and the skilled engineers they require.

[lornarana]

[tagwised]

labour is cost less than 1.5 dollars in harsh climate. the marketing and business relation should not be the one raising the phone prices is their own decision how they use their own money and it's not your fault😅

[obsequious_obsolescence]

To be fair apple pretty much doubles the actual cost of these phones… so apple isn’t hurting….And these phones are all gonna be tracked right back to this genius in short time, let alone be rendered useless.

Yes, making an iPhone is really pretty cheap. But they’ve got stockholders in the company. They want a profit. They’ve invested money and they want a good return. That’s for a lot of the cost goes the shareholders. They wanna make money and they do make a lot of money.

The only real business that doesn’t operate on a 100% mark up is food everyone else buys something for 5$ and sells for 10$ and that keeps going until the end user gets its normally two to three times the build price

The cost of producing 1unit of iphone is not thesame with the cost of producing 1000units.

Iphone has already market itself so u dont need any much marketing

Most of the components are the same with a slide difference which will also have an effect on the cost.

Do much research on it and come back with a more elaborate cost. Pls dont forget to include the net profit per unit.

[Xreistis]

I Think the real production cost for one piece Iphone is about 35 - 50 dollars

[Nekomonger]

i heard it cost 5 dollars to produce in mass production.

[theycallme_D]

Tim Cooks salary alone is around $3 million.

You have forgotten about main important component is iOS. Actually they are selling iOS, so hardware is free. Brilliancy of Apple phone is iOS not hardware alone
