Ever wonder how much money Apple is making off of every device that they have assembled? The cost between iPhone assembly and store cost is something that will really blow your mind. It’s no surprise that the technology empire makes some serious cash off of any product that they release to their consumers, but how much have they been making off their latest iPhone creations?
Check out this number crunching by CNET – a media news site – for the cost of assembly for the new iPhone 5S and 5C vs. the actual store costs with no contract…
Assembly Costs
- iPhone 5S [16GB] = $199
- iPhone 5S [64GB] = $218
- iPhone 5C [16GB] = $173
- iPhone 5C [32GB] = $183
Store Costs
- iPhone 5S = $649 – $849
- iPhone 5C = $549 – $649
How’s that for an overall construction cost vs. sales cost? While you can’t be surprised, it is pretty crazy to see the numbers written out for how much money Apple actually makes off just one iPhone. The new iPhone sales have proven positive with the record breaking 9 million within the first week.
