How much does it cost to make an iPhone 7?



The accounts of the latest model of Apple disappoint, with 50.8 million units sold, a figure below the expected



  In the first three months of 2017, Apple has sold a total of 50.8 million units of iPhone7, a figure below what the market expected. The revenues of the multinational increase to 52,900 million dollars.

Sales fall, but revenues increase and that is due to the price increase of the latest device from the Cupertino giant. The iPhone 7 is sold in different versions from 769 euros in Spain, however its manufacturing cost does not exceed 210 euros, according to IHS Markit data

  The most expensive component of Apple's flagship smartphone is its 4.7-inch screen and HD retina that is valued at 40 euros. Then the baseband processor and the applications add up between the two 56 euros, 32 euros and 24 euros respectively.

The price of the cameras amounts to 18 euros and that of the mechanical components to 16.5 euros. The electromechanical components are valued at 15.3 euros.

Other aspects taken into account Statista are the wifi, Bluetooth and navigation system that costs Apple about 7 euros a unit, while the assembly and assembly of the smartphone 4.5 euros, without counting labor and salaries from the workers.

The numbers presented on Tuesday night reveal the slowdown in sales of Apple's mobile phones, which account for 63% of all revenues. In the same quarter last year, sales reached 51 million iPhones and, in 2015, 61.2 million.

Caught by the mobile The last known leaks of messages between politicians come to light by the use of SMS instead of instant messaging applications where the texts are encrypted    From the famous "Luis, be strong" from Rajoy to Bárcenas that came to light four years ago, until the last known case with the 'Operation Lezo': «Thanks Nacho. A hug. Hopefully the messes will close soon »of the Minister of Justice, Rafael Catalá, to the ex-president of the Community of Madrid recently arrested, Ignacio González. The leaks of certain SMS from the highest Spanish political sphere suggest that telephone conversations are still a source of police investigations.     Just as years ago telephone calls intervened (the so-called 'phone jacks') were the order of the day, today with new technologies you can go a step further and are text messages (SMS) or instant messaging applications (Whatsapp or Telegram mainly) where the focus is placed. Of course, intercepting a...

Honda and Visa will allow to pay from the car The system will perform transactions to issue payments at service stations and parking meters   Honda and Visa have introduced a system that allows transactions from inside the vehicle, and that can be used at service stations and parking meters. The announcement was made at CES 2017, used as decoration to climb a step in the payment system and a new breakthrough in the automotive sector, which is increasingly focused on connectivity.   This union is added to the collaboration agreement signed by both parties in the Mobile Congress of Barcelona. From that signing, the two companies began working on a system that allows drivers to make payments from inside the vehicle for daily tasks, such as parking meters and gasoline. Supported by Bluetooth wireless technology, cars will connect with petrol pumps or parking meters and from there drivers can perform transactions from the touch screen of the device. In the case of service stations,...

Laser vision, closer to the human eye

Laser vision, closer to the human eye Researchers create an ultra-thin membrane whose success has been demonstrated in animals     Shooting lasers with your eyes is not just a Hollywood trick. An investigation of the University of St. Andrew in the United States has made it possible to create an ultrafine membrane laser using organic semiconductors. The tests, for the time being, have only been taken to the animal world. In particular, they have been tested in the eyes of cows and this membrane has been shown to show lines on a flat bottom or ones and zeros creating a digital bar code. "Our work represents a new milestone in the development of lasers and, in particular, points the way to how lasers can be used in inherently soft and ductile environments, either in portable sensors or as an authentication function in banknotes" , explains Professor Malte Gather, one of researchers at the University of St Andrew. "By varying the materials and adjusting the laser grid struc...
