Apple, which sets the benchmark in the fiercely competitive world of smartphones, continues to make a name for itself with the iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, the most powerful player in the high-end hardware series, is considered the industry’s most powerful phone. So how much did Apple spend on producing this model?
The production cost of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 3.7% higher than that of the iPhone 13 Pro Max
The iPhone 14 Pro Max features some high-end hardware compared to other models in the series. With advantages such as the 120 Hz ProMotion display technology, Apple A16 Bionic processor, and a 48-megapixel main camera sensor, the device naturally incurred higher costs compared to the others.
According to research conducted by Counterpoint, the production cost of the iPhone 14 Pro Max has been revealed. Apple spent approximately $464 to produce one unit, including the increase. The production of the A16 Bionic chip accounted for 22% of this cost. Apple’s new-generation mobile processor, the A16 Bionic, contains 16 billion transistors, while the A15 Bionic had 15 billion transistors. This represents a 6.7% increase.
Some differences that could lead to a price increase compared to its predecessor:
- Dynamic Island
- Always-on display (Exclusive to Pro)
- 48 MP main camera sensor (Exclusive to Pro)
- Action
- Autofocus front camera (All iPhone 14 models)
