TechInsights disassembled the iPhone XS Max just released on a board level. We estimate the cost of one unit by finding the cost per part and accumulating costs including assembly costs.

Cost price determination is done thoroughly for each part at the level of this picture. Apple's proprietary neural network compatible 4-core SoC "A12 Bionic" is mounted on a board with compact parts in this way.

As a result, we found out a manufacturing cost list consisting of the following breakdowns compared to iPhone X which appeared in 2017. In the iPhone XS Max 256 GB model, the combined cost of the processor and the modems is increased by 72 dollars (about 8100 yen) than iPhone X. The camera is priced up to $ 44 (about 5000 yen) more than iPhone X. And it can be said that the price of 6.5-inch OLED is remarkably larger than that of iPhone X which was 5.8 inches, but the cost slightly increases from 77.27 dollars (about 8700 yen) to 80.5 dollars (about 9100 yen) I am staying at this place.
