Question: how much money does it cost to build an iphone?
Answer: The first bill of materials for the 256GB iPhone XS Max, priced at $1,249, says it cost Apple just $443 to manufacture this model. The figure comes from TechInsights' teardown, and it's less than $50 more than the estimate for last year's 64GB iPhone X, which TechInsights believes cost Apple $395.44 to make.
