The cost of iPhone 13 Pro components is about half of its price. This is reported in the report of the Agency Techinsights.
Company specialists disassembled the phone and analyzed the details from which the new smartphone consists. Engineers confirmed that the iPhone 13 Pro has six gigabytes of RAM format LPDDR4X. Also, the Pro model – unlike the basic iPhone 13 – is equipped with a graphics processor with five cores. The graphic chip of more accessible series devices has four cores.
From the disclosed data it follows that the real cost of all components of the flagship is $ 570. The cost of 13 Pro in retail begins with 999 dollars. This is a little higher than that of the iPhone 12 Pro presented in 2020. Analysts explained the rise in price by increasing the cost of the case, screen, memory modules and the introduction of a more expensive processor.
In the production of its flagships, Apple uses its own chips, including Apple A15 BIONIC chip and audio equipment. The remaining components are supplied by Qualcomm, KiOXIA, NXP, Stmicroelectronics, USI, Qorvo and Broadcom.
In November 2020, experts said that the cost of iPhone 12 Pro excluding additional charges is 406 dollars. The most expensive component of the flagship is OLED screen.
