Secrets of all the components of the iPhone
This is a continuation of the "Mystery of the iPhone Pro", here are the remaining components, their manufacturers, as well as the cost of the product. Honestly I thought that most of the Apple itself produces, but the main thing is the final product.
A study conducted by Portelligent showed that the cost of materials used to produce the new Apple iPhone cellphone is about $ 200 for a 4-gigabyte model and $ 220 for an 8-gigabyte model.
Although these calculations did not take into account the costs of R & D, production and marketing, their results give every reason to believe that Apple gets a fairly high percentage of the profits from the sale of each device. In addition, such a low cost will give the company the opportunity to reduce the cost of the phone in case of a decrease in demand or the release of new models.
The iPhone has a microprocessor based on ARM architecture and NAND flash memory chips from Samsung, power chips from Philips, Texas Instruments and Linear Technology. Infineon, Skyworks, RF Micro Devices and Marvell Technolog microchips provide the phone's wireless interfaces, and Cambridge Silicon Radio chip is responsible for interaction with wireless audio headsets. The iPhone motion sensor is manufactured by STMicroelectronics, and the 2-megapixel camera is Micron Technology. The work of the display of the phone is provided by chips manufactured by National Semiconductor, Broadcom and NXP.
