What are the production costs of the new iPhone 5 ? Just like with the previous iPhone, various parties are making both precise and less accurate calculations to figure out what the new iPhone 5 cost to produce. Since Apple itself does not like to talk out loud about its partners, the research firm IHS has studied the iPhone 5 deeply. By taking the smartphone completely apart, and by tracing all the components one by one, the company could accurately determine the production costs of the new iPhone 5. The outcome; it costs $197 USD to produce the iPhone 5. That makes the new iPhone about $9 USD more expensive to produce than its predecessor, the iPhone 4s.
