Si certains s’étonnent que l’iPhone 7 est plus cher que le précédent, c’est (aussi) parce qu’il coûte plus cher à produire pour Apple. Voici la facture en détails.
En sortie d’usine, l’iPhone 7 coûte presque 225 dollars à produire pour Apple. Une facture de fabrication plus élevée que celle de l’iPhone 6S, qui coûtait 188 dollars à Apple en décembre dernier, selon les mêmes analystes de IHS. L’iPhone 7 analysé est le modèle 32 Go au premier prix de 649 dollars… et 769 euros chez nous !
Un processeur à 27 dollars
Le modèle analysé était un A1778 avec un modem Intel, vendu 34 dollars, soit plus cher que le puissant processeur A10 Fusion d’Apple, estimé à 27 dollars seulement. Quant à l’excellent écran de l’iPhone 7, son fabricant n’est pas précisé, mais c’est un IPS LTPS (meilleure techno LCD du secteur), vendu 43 dollars. C’est le composant le plus cher de l’appareil devant le modem et le processeur.
