It’ s not just us, the common people, who are affected by recent price increases. Specifically, the production of an iPhone 14 Pro Max costs almost 4% more than the production of a 13 Pro Max, according to a Counterpoint analysis.
One of the main components whose price has increased in the last year is screens. The displays on the iPhone 14 Pro Max are brighter than last year’ s, reaching a maximum brightness of 1, 400 nits versus just over 1, 000 nits. The camera plays a big role too, with the new 48MP sensor costing Apple just over$ 6 more than the 12MP sensor found on the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
But here we can also see a clear example that when technologies age, their price decreases. Of course, all these figures represent the cost of manufacturing only, and do not take into account development and marketing costs.
