As it is known, Apple has increased the iPhone 14 models offered for sale in the European market by 100 euros. So how much does the iPhone 14 Pro Max cost Apple, which is sold with a price tag of 45 thousand 999 TL in our country? A new study by Counterpoint has revealed the cost of the parts that make up the smartphone. According to the research, it was announced that the cost of components required to produce the iPhone 14 Pro Max is $ 464 on average. This figure represents a 3.7 percent increase compared to the previous flagship iPhone 13 Pro Max. It should be noted that the biggest change that caused the price increase was the always-on display, the A16 Bionic and the new camera system.

According to Counterpoint, switching from the Apple A15 Bionic to the A16 Bionic caused the price to increase by $11. Similarly, Sony's new 48MP camera system, which has a 65 percent larger sensor area than the previous model, adds an estimated $6.30 to the total cost of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Thus, the cost of the parts that make up the 128 GB iPhone 14 Pro Max is about 42 percent of the total price. But it looks like Apple has managed to offset some of the higher component costs with savings in other areas. Because the 5G support added to the iPhone 12 series resulted in one of the biggest increases in component costs from year to year. Today, the more widespread use of 5G has resulted in a significant drop in cellular equipment prices.

Also, let's remind you that the shared figures only cover the component cost for an iPhone 14 Pro Max with 128GB of storage. Because other costs such as assembly, shipping, patent fees, software development, advertising and logistics are not included in the research.
