Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The original price of the iPhone 15 series turns out to be much higher than the selling price. For example, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is said to be worth US$558 or Rp. 8.7 million.
The price report comes from experts from Japanese media, Nikkei. The price is less than half the retail price, namely US$ 1,200 (Rp. 18.8 million) for the cheapest 128GB version.
It is also reported that the production value of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 12 percent more expensive than its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This makes this cellphone the most expensive Apple smartphone to produce.
The expensive production price, according to Nikkei, is due to the presence of several specifications embedded in the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Starting from a new camera with 5x optical zoom, the Apple A17 Pro chipset based on an advanced 3nm manufacturing process, and an OLED screen with adaptive refresh rate and thin bezels.
Meanwhile, the production price for the iPhone 15 Pro is stated to be US$ 523 (Rp. 8.2 million), the iPhone 15 Plus is US$ 442 (Rp. 6.9 million), and the iPhone 15 is US$ 442 (Rp. 7 million). This price is far below the selling price of the three models.
The iPhone 15 Pro is priced at US$ 999 (Rp. 15.7 million), while the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 are sold for US$ 899 (Rp. 14.1 million) and US$ 799 (Rp. 12.5 million).
The production prices of the three are also more expensive than their predecessors. For example, the iPhone 15 Pro is 8 percent more expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro.
The iPhone 15 Plus is said to be 10 percent more expensive than the iPhone 14 Plus model. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 has the biggest difference from the previous model, reaching 16 percent from the iPhone 14.
