CR: iPhone 14 Pro Max BoM is $464, nearly 4% more than 13 Pro Max

13 February 2023
The share of Apple self-designed components is rising.

Sort by:

"Producing a 128GB iPhone 14 Pro Max mmWave smartphone costs Apple up to $474"
Wrong. That was if Apple was going to make 1 unit of iPhone 14 Pro Max. But as they buy the components in very large quantities, these prices are going to be much lower than 474...

    Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023Veteran anonymous here.. I remember you as an iPhone XR owner.So? What freaking difference does that make? Guess what, I had several Android phones BEFORE iPhone XR too. What's your point? What's that guys point? People here throw "hurr durr you used iPhone" like some sort of gotcha. So bizarre. No matter what people say, there are things that Apple does really well and pretending that's not a fact is even more bizarre and ignorant.

      I doubt.

      Last year gmsarena posted article of info the BoM from 13 pro 256GB was $570.
      No way 14 pro max 128GB is $450 only.

            A little cheaper than the Xiaomi 12s ultra which cost $516 for the build of materials. However the cost for those has probably dropped as it's quite a while sinch launch. Most top flagships are going to cost a similar amount for the components. Perhaps the Galaxy s23 ultra will be a bit more expensive than the others at present but not by much

              [deleted post]Lol, imagine running around screaming "Apple shill" at someone because you have no arguments for anything. Yeah, the owner of Poco X4 GT and incoming Galaxy S23 Ultra, I'm so totally Apple shill yo! Hilarious!

                So this is Apple and their stuffs. Very trendsetter, people.

                  [deleted post]I see that sentence a lot.

                  "Btw Apple is made in China too"

                  What does it mean?

                  That Apple is a Chinese brand? Or what?

                  I really don't understand why do you guys keep bringing on. Many countries are building their products in China. Because of the mega cheap working labor.
                  Yeah, everybody knows almost everything is being made in China these days but does anyone ask him self who invested in those mega factories in China in the first place? You think China build them by them self? Try again. Or even better, use your favorite internet browser and find out your self.

                  Have a nice day!

                            rizki1, 13 Feb 2023yeah when their Mac Pro wheels cost the same as new iPhone ... moreWhat has this to do with anything? Is there anyone holding a gun at your head demanding that you buy those wheels for the Mac? No. So they cost that much. They can cost 5000000000000000€ and that doesn't change anything.

                              DemonSpeed, 13 Feb 2023Developing own OS? They still developing OS from scratch? ... moreLol, "people developing OS for them". Their entire OS is made inhouse and was made from scratch. There is no other company supplying them with OS like all Android phone makers are by Google. You people have no clue what you're even babbling about here. And you're all always the loudest to give impression you all know everything. Well, you don't.

                                UltraHD, 13 Feb 2023450€ to make and 1250€ the cheapest to find here, no wonder... moreOver here 14 pro max starts at 1600€ for 128 gb and 1800€ for 256 gb
                                For comparison the 256 gb S23 ultra is 1400€ (around the same price as the S20 ultra when it first launched) while the 256 gb S22 ultra was 1200€ (around the same price as the S21 ultra when it first launched)

                                    Just to clarify that i don't hate Apple, i even like iOS system but sometimes what they're doing, it's too much.

                                      Transportation cost is for every brand and it's not something to brag about like there transport is some higher class or something that cost more. What is overhead ? And what fixed cost ?

                                      Only research they do is to get there materials cost down so they can ask even more from customers to cover it.
