And This is the actual cost of an iPhone 6 Plus.Check it out here and this is the reason why Apple is one of the top brands in the World. #Shocking😳😳 #iPhone

Lets have a look at the making cost of an iPhone. When we go in deep and study about the making of an iPhone which is a status symbol in the mobile phone market & it's not easy for everyone to afford it. Apple approximately makes 300% profit on each unit sold on and this is the reason why are they among the top brands of the World. Counting it's all features one by one , we'll show you that what is the actual cost. Approximately actual cost is 1/3rd of the cost at which it is sold. And atleast once, it will wrench your heart if you are an iPhone user.
Owning an iPhone is a status symbol for many Indians, thanks to its eye-watering price tag. Such is the craze of the gadget that people take loans, buy it on EMIs, and have even tried to sell their kidneys to buy the unnecessarily over-priced product. But did you know that the actual cost of making the product is not even one-third of its selling price?

Sounds unbelievable, but it's true. IHS Technology, global researchers and analysts of technology, did a study on the actual cost of manufacturing an iPhone 6 Plus. What they found will make you feel cheated. Might even make you shed a tear.

Apple apparently sells each model of iPhone 6 Plus at an eye-popping 300% profit!

Which means, the cheapest model of iPhone 6 Plus that is sold at Rs 51,000 (approx.) actually costs only Rs 17,000 to make!


The materials used in making a 16 GB iPhone 6 Plus actually costs only Rs 15,800. If you include the manufacturing costs, it comes to Rs 17,000.

The most expensive part of the phone happens to be the screen which now comes with the new 3D-touch technology. The cost of one screen - Rs 3,580.


Next comes the camera. The cost of manufacturing both front and the back camera (8 megapixels and 12 megapixels respectively) is merely Rs 1,530.
There's a reason why Apple does not offer expandable memory. And this is where they actually make the most of their device - the cost of adding 1 gigabyte of memory on the phone is as low as Rs 25!

The cost of 16GB memory in an iPhone 6 Plus is Rs 400 while the cost of 64 gigs of memory is Rs 1600. So ideally, the difference between a 16 GB iPhone 6 Plus and a 64 GB iPhone 6 Plus isn't more than Rs 1200 but users end up shelling out around Rs 7000 more for the 64 GB model.

But while Apple is simply doing business, what's really disheartening to know is that the workers who take about 24 hours to manufacture an iPhone make a negligible amount of Rs 120 per hour for their labour. 

Even if you add all of Apple's expenses including R&D, labour, shipping, licensing, taxes, marketing and other territory costs, the margin between the cost price and the selling price still remains astronomical.

We know, Apple's brand value has its own price but it surely can't be 300%!
