For those who are interested in how much phone companies are harvesting from you, well sorry to say, the harvest is big!
IHS broke down Google’s Pixel devices. According to the report, the Google Pixel XL costs about as much as an iPhone 7 Plus or a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to manufacture. The analyst firm took apart a 32GB Pixel XL and discovered that the total cost to make the 32GB Pixel XL is $285.75
Considering that Google sells a 32GB Pixel XL for $769, so Google is making a lot of money from each device it sells, but we can’t be entirely sure how accurate the math behind the IHS calculation is.
