Material costs have increased

Apple’s material costs have also risen this year. The iPhone 15 Pro Max costs 12 percent more to make than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. For the iPhone 15 Pro, this increase is 8 percent compared to the iPhone 14 Pro. The iPhone 15 Plus costs 10 percent more in materials and for the iPhone 15 this is even 16 percent.

iPhone 15 price tag: more than just material

A comment must be made here. Making an iPhone 15 obviously does not only consist of material costs alone. A large part also goes to development. After all, Apple has been working with a large team for years on the production of a new iPhone.

Distribution and other sales costs are also not included. For example, the iPhones have to be transported all over the world and the employees in the Apple Stores naturally also expect their wages. In addition, it costs Apple quite a bit of money to advertise the iPhone 15.
