The new iPhone x can finally afford 5.8 inches. The manufacturing cost of the new iPhone x is reduced by 10%
4hw.com.cn: in view of the new high price of iPhone x last year, the price of three new iPhones this year has become one of the focuses of attention. According to rumors, apple is widely believed to have three new iPhones in the fall, namely, the 5.8-inch iPhone x upgrade, the 6.5-inch iPhone x plus and another 6.1-inch LCD screen 'cheap version' iPhone X.
The total bill of materials for the new 5.8-inch iPhone is more than 10% lower than when the iPhone X was first launched, the report said, after reports that the material cost of the iPhone X was about $400. This means that apple can reduce the starting price while maintaining the same profit. Although the material cost is only a part of the total cost of iPhone, the reduction of hardware cost will inevitably have a positive impact on the price of iPhone. It's worth noting that the 6.1-inch iPhone with LCD screen will still be the cheapest new iPhone, which is expected to start at $800 (about 5067 yuan). Similar to Samsung S9.
All in all, price is a very important reason to block the iPhone X's popularity. At the same time, as more screen manufacturers join in the supply, and the yield and production cost of face ID are reduced, Apple may use this most effective market strategy to please consumers.
