It Costs Apple $370 in Materials to Make Each iPhone X [Chart]

IHS Markit engineers have completed their preliminary teardown of the iPhone X estimating that the 64GB version carries a bill of materials (BOM) of $370.25. The phone retails for $999 USD.

“The iPhone X is the most expensive iPhone ever made, and it has the highest retail price tag of comparable flagship phones, catapulting the smartphone industry to an entirely new price point,” said Andrew Rassweiler, senior director of cost benchmarking services at IHS Markit.

Rassweiler continued, “While the iPhone X represents Apple’s biggest step forward in design since it debuted the iPhone in 2007, its underlying architecture is analogous to the iPhone 8 Plus. Both models share platform-common components, but the X’s superior screen and TrueDepth sensing set the phone apart and contribute to its higher cost.”
