Maybe you’re still debating between the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. Apple has a good reason for wanting you to opt for the larger model. It costs an additional $15.50 to make the larger iPhones, according to a breakdown by researchers at IHS , but the sticker price is $100 higher than the iPhone 6. Apple pockets an extra $84.50 on each iPhone 6 Plus.
The main difference in cost between the two phones comes from the supersize screen, which adds $7.50 to Apple’s production cost. [eap_ad_2] The camera and battery subsystems also cost slightly more. Both iPhone 6 models are more expensive to make than the 5S, even though certain components like the camera and memory have actually gotten less expensive.
The total margin of an iPhone 6 Plus comes to just over 71 percent, compared with 69 percent for the iPhone 6 and now just under 65 percent for the iPhone 5S. (Those figures don’t include costs associated with shipping or marketing.) (Bloomberg) [eap_ad_3]
