The iPhone 7 Costs Apple Just $225 to Make

If you want to know about all the Apple mobiles, here’s a list of the latest Apple mobiles price in Pakistan and their specs.

This is turning out to be a tradition. Almost every year, we hear stories of just how big Appleā€™s profit margin will be and things are no different this year.

According to an estimate courtesy of IHS Markit, the new iPhone 7 costs just $219.80, based on the cost of its components. Assembly costs Apple $5 on top of that. The new iPhone 7, which starts at 32 GB of storage by default, costs $36.89 more than the last yearā€™s iPhone 6s to build.

The most expensive component is still the 3D Touch display, which costs $39 to make, followed by the modem and baseband chips which cost $33.90.

The A10 fusion processor is next, costing $26.90, followed by the cameras, which just costs $19.90 while the flash memory and RAM are not far either at $16.40. The battery, on the other hand, costs only $2.50 despite being bigger and better than one on the phone it replaces.

It is worth noting that an estimate of the iPhone 7 Plus model, with its larger display and dual cameras hasnā€™t been made yet, though the latter will likely cost around $40 to make, making the phone more expensive to make.

Of course, these figures are just for the manufacturing and components, skipping other important details such as R&D, shipping and especially marketing, it is still quite a sizeable profit for Apple.

The profit in this case is $424 per each device built, meaning a markup of 189 percent. Apple has itself never revealed the cost of any product it has built but even though sales have peaked, the iPhone is where the money at.

  • Now it’s time for propk to publish the article like “Dalda 30 rupay kilo cost karta hai tu 100 rupay kilo kyun bechtay hein”. Ab log profit bhi bata kar set karaingay? I mean what is this.. how this article is beneficial for the users in any way? Will people stop buying iphone or start protesting even if it had cost 1$?

    • It’s all manufacturing cost, they don’t add the R&D cost, Marketing cost and extra, if he is talking about manufacturing cost then galaxy s7 costs 222 $

    • LOL Sadly there are people who never understand that companies exist to make profit.

      Also I think a lot of people are stuck with thinking like Labour Theory of Value in economics.

  • If Apple start selling at 250$ or 300$ then no one will buy it its only mindset rich people think we own this brand 25k ka tu Qmobile be aata hai Lol

  • Also add cost regarding iOS and iOS updates, customer support, warranty and guarantee, R&D, App Store, Marketing, Brand Value, Shipping, Skills, Technology, Taxes.

  • Apple iphone sucks due to many reasons
    1.only 326 ppi
    2.no 1080p
    3.no expandable storage
    4.no AMOLED display
    5.no DAC sound
    6.only 200 nits of brightness
    7.no wireless charging
    8.no headphone jack
    9.the big disadvantage is not having Quick charge

    • I’d just like to know if you’ve used any iPhone? 1080p, AMOLED, 326 ppi looks good on paper. In real world you won’t even feel a difference using an iPhone 6 and any 1080p display phone..

      • Yes I’ve used it.The simple example is youtube video quality settings.You won’t find even 1080p which is standard for any video and monitors.The point is If your screen has more pixels per inch you have more video quality options and obviously image quality and camera is way better
