1360 SEK for the new Iphone
Writing apart computers, or build a computer from individual components, is not something unusual. But nowadays it is rarely the savings to build a computer yourself – the components will cost about as much as an entire computer.
In the mobile world is different. The actual hardware components to the new Iphone costs $ 174. It is the analyst Isupply calculated by screwing apart a Iphone. Everything from basbandskretsen from Infineon to the storage memory from Toshiba has been priced into the smallest detail. Conclusion: $ 174 and 33 cents. Around 1360 SEK simply.
These costs are no costs other than hardware components are included, as research and development costs of the phone, the cost of developing software (Iphone OS) or marketing.
By contrast, Isupply found that Apple managed to cut costs from the first iPhone model. For the components was the whole $ 50 more expensive. According Isupply, Apple has also managed to make the component cost of the Iphone 3GS to approximately SEK 300 less than its main competitor in the U.S. market: Palm Pre.
Well said.
