The higher production cost of the iPhone 16 Pro Max may be related to the new display and camera, which cost $80(Rs. 6,640 approx.) and take the biggest chunk of money spent on components for the new iPhone. The new camera button on the 16 Pro Max costs $19 (approx. Rs. 1,570), the new RAM unit costs $17 (approx. Rs. 1,400), and the new A18 Pro bionic chipset costs $45 (approx. Rs. 3,730) for of each model.

Based on this component cost and the actual selling price of $1,199 (roughly Rs. 99,500) in the US, it can be seen that Apple is making a big profit selling the new premium iPhones. However, the company also has other costs such as marketing, packaging, personnel and technological innovation added to the new model.

The new iPhone 16 Pro Max has a larger 6.9-inch ProMotion OLED display , which works on the basis of the A18 Pro chipset. It continues to feature a triple camera and the battery size has been increased to support the screen and power levels.
