The iPhone Xs Max is the most expensive smartphone ever announced by Apple. TechInsights has published its look at pricing for other parts within Apple’s new 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max.
The 64GB version is selling at price of $ 1,099 and the 256GB of storage is sold for $ 1,249.
Now how much does it cost to make such a device?
The single most expensive part in the device is still the OLED display (screen).
Based on TechInsights data, it cost Apple $443 to make the iPhone XS Max with 256GB. It's almost $ 50 more compared to the cost of 64GB iPhone X components estimated at $ 395.44 for the same company.
Screen = $ 80.50
Processor / Modems = $ 72.00
Memory - $ 64.50
Cameras = $ 44.00
Hybrid / RF Integrated Circuit = $ 23.00
Sensors & Connectivity = $ 18.00
Power / Audio Manager = $ 14.50
Battery = $ 9.00
Other Electronics = $ 35.00
Housing / Mechanics = $ 58.00

These estimates don’t account for things such as research and development and marketing.TechInsights advised that the cost estimate was made with the information that was available.
But Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, is not much of a fan of these estimates. In 2015, he said the surveys do not reflect the true cost of the product.
