Hi,
Today I have a very interesting topic, Very difficult to believe on it. Apple’s iPhone 5, which pitches for $649(USA) or Rs 45,500(INR), is really worth Rs 11,818(INR) means near about $207(USA) .
This has been disclosed by Barclays in one of its research report. The article gauged that the aggregate material cost for a common iPhone 5, which rejects the worth of advertising, warranty, critical logistics costs, production and other expense parts, is $207.
We all know Apple has an enormous benefit edge on the greater part of their units and as a result of business sector research firm IHS iSuppli, we now know what amount of Apple pays for assembling the iPhone 5. The 16GB rendition of the as of late started cellular telephone costs $207, which is $442 less than the retail cost without a contract. The 32GB and 64GB cost $217 and $238 individually.
“We evaluate that NAND Flash explains about 10% of the aggregate iPhone cost, remote parts account about 16% and the presentation about 20% of the sum.” assessed Barclays. I can show you whole list of all the parts with actual cost in market. check the below list:
The examination and monetary firm further included that the material cost for iPhone 5 “may have declined to a small extent in the month of December, the previous year”. I personally think that They could sell them much cheaper and still makes lots of money, the thing is they don’t need to, which is incredible to be quite honest.
I want to say one thing, this is not an anti-apple article. All phones cost about this much to manufacture, right? The Lumia 900 is the same price and I’m sure the Galaxy S3 is around the same price as well.
Apple’s products are expensive, but that’s exactly the “brand image” that is so successful for Apple. They want people to perceive the iPhone as a luxury product… they can’t sell it 300$, it would destroy the brand image.
