Detail of production costs of iPhone 15

Zoom in on the increase in production costs of the iPhone 15
The increases for the Pro Max model are notably due to the new “periscope” sensor, 3.8 times more expensive than the telephoto lens of the 14 Pro Max, as well as the titanium chassis, 43% more expensive than the previous stainless steel, the screen is also 20% more expensive, and the processor 27% more expensive. Knowing that Apple has not increased the price of its devices this year, it is possible that these increases will be reflected in the company's turnover.
