Have you ever thought about the answer to the article title "Why are original accessories and devices so expensive?" You might answer now "because of course it is a high quality product." This is absolutely true. But what do you think if I told you that specialized centers estimate the cost of parts of the iPhone 5s with a capacity of 32 GB is only $ 207, while Apple sells it for $ 749. As for the Galaxy S5, its cost is $ 256 and its price may be more than $ 700. If we move to the world of accessories, we will find the difference more clear. So why is the price difference so big between the cost of manufacturing and selling in original accessories and appliances?
There are many, many reasons for the noticeable price increase, and each year part of the difference causes this noticeable price. These are the most important factors:
trade mark :
The most important thing in controlling prices and the most important thing in the field of buying and selling, which determines the price according to the reputation of that mark. The most important thing that makes sales larger is the brand placed on it, and the more it is from a bigger and more famous company, the higher the demand and thus the price. You can refer to our previous article for Trademark Impact via this link.
The hidden cost of the products
The cost of the iPhone 5s 16 GB parts is $ 199, this is the price of the parts only. But there is more additional cost like
- The cost of shipping from parts factories to Foxconn in China and then shipping to the place of sale.
- The cost of damaged devices, whether in the manufacturing process or shipping.
- The cost of ads and advertisements that cost billions.
- Operating cost, labor, point of sale, and company employee salaries.
- The cost of the warranty that Apple replaces the defective devices during the warranty period "agency" for free.
- Scientific research that leads to access to these products, for example Apple spent 4.5 billion dollars on research and studies, Microsoft spent 10.4 billion and Google 5.8 billion dollars in 2013.
But this does not mean that all the cost and price increase will be justified. Sometimes there are reasons for “exploitation” by companies for some things, and accordingly the prices rise, and these are the most important factors.
High quality and elegance
The quality, elegance, strength of the product and its dazzling design, makes these accessories, regardless of their price, worth the acquisition, for example Apple is often interested in the design that attracts the customer, which provides a comfortable use experience and gives a luxurious character.
If your company offers the best product in terms of quality in a particular field, then here it can increase the price because those looking for quality will acquire you regardless of the price.
Warranty and aftersales service
A point mentioned above, but we wanted to single out a paragraph for it to be clear. Many companies provide after-sales services and warranty, so in the event that you purchase an accessory from Apple, a phone from Samsung, or a headphone from Beats, you will feel safe because you bought a product from a trusted company, and if any problem occurs, you can easily go to the stores of this company and replace it. These things will require the company to take a malfunctioning device and give you a new one. Of course, the companies send the defective device to the factories to be repaired, but it is here, although it became completely new and was refurbished in the same factory, but the companies have to sell it at a reduced price and it is called "Refurbished".
Unique products:
To offer a unique and unrivaled product, here you can fully control the price. For example, when Apple introduced the MacBook devices, the world dazzled the touchpad that supports multi-touch with distinctive options that serve the user and make him feel as if he is touching the screen with his hand and controls it as he wishes. This gave Apple a point of advantage in which it was able to raise the price because it is almost unrivaled in this matter.
The same thing was repeated through the mouse and also the magic touch pad, as Apple called them as "Magic Mouse & Trackpad", as they presented a unique experience in controlling, moving and using the computer, it really does not resemble any mouse or touchpad found in any other computer.
Customer need
Another point that works with the same previous logic is the customer's need, just as companies play to provide a unique product that has no competitor, and also the best quality product. The time has come for the most important point in accessories, which is the customer's need to protect his device. After you bought a device, it cost you hundreds of dollars. The first thing you think about is how to preserve this device so it can last longer and protect it from scratches and breakage. And also buy an additional charger for your device. Some people may resort to accessories with prices that may be less than $ 10, and here they may not be the cause Your device is burned In the case of the charger or the cover, but of poor quality materials and also of poor shape, it will be destroyed after a few days. Or there is another option
Yes that's right. Turn to buzzing companies to buy a reliable charger or cover for your device that has a "luxurious" look and does not waste the beauty of your device. Here, companies take advantage of this need, offer their products at a high price, and buy them.
A word from iPhone Islam:

When a product is presented, we tell it all the details, and when a legal conflict occurs between companies, we tell him the reasons for this conflict - see this link For the issue of Apple and Samsung - we also dive into companies to tell how they think - review the thinking of tech companies part One وpart two - And also how she manages her relationship with employees - see this link-. In this article, we reviewed how companies evaluate the prices of their devices. It is not our goal to tell you to buy from here or there, this is your decision, but we just wanted you to know how you buy how this price is evaluated.

Hi
Indeed, great information, and it gives a hand to collect it, and put it in one topic
In the end, I would like to add a simple point, which is the user's misuse of any device, whether it is of high quality or low quality, which determines the life of your device> _
^ _ ^.
When distributing the cost per unit of production, we find that the prices are undoubtedly exaggerated in a way that reflects the greed of capitalist companies and the capitalist system that only cares about achieving the greatest possible profit. The article ignored the huge profits that Apple makes from the App Store. Whatever the expenses mentioned, the profits remain outrageous even after deducting those expenses. The increased demand and obsession with these products is one of the main reasons for their high prices. Boycotting any product will undoubtedly lead to a decrease in demand for it and thus a decrease in its price, but Apple has succeeded in creating addicted consumers who are incapable of anything but panting after everything new from Apple. May you be well
To be fair
Despite all of the above, they are quite high prices.
Hi
Good evening
I bought the iPhone four years ago, and the cable worked as best it could be
The second thing is Griffin, its chargers are excellent and special for cars
The device will not be left with a full battery during XNUMX minutes
I am a fan of the iPhone even though it is complicated in terms of programs
Does everyone know that the majority of iPhone 5s users complain about the charger cord, as it breaks down quickly, so where is the alleged quality
Unite with him, what are you sitting around talking about as if the men blamed wrong
His words are XNUMX% correct, Apple cables are tired, and the original cable sat with me
XNUMX months and ruined
As for the brothers who responded, do you want to convince me that you are all the chargers?
He sat with you for a year, like some !!
Sorry for taking too long
But all these reasons do not prompt the sale of the device at three times the manufacturing price, especially the price difference between 16 and 32 GB. The manufacturing cost is $10 and the selling price is $100. This means clear (exploitation) by the company of the customer for his needs.
Hi
Oh group, you have entered the man like this, in people who prefer big screens, in people who prefer small ones, and in people who love Apple and their souls get bigger screens, and vice versa,
As for the cable, this problem was with me, and I discovered that because I pulled it from the computer hard from the wire, it was not from the plug 😉
As for the issue of exploiting Apple, I do not think it is correct. Apple does not do that. Rather, I think it appreciates the value of what they have made and innovated and mastery and puts it in the price of the device.
And thanks Yvonne Islam for your clarification and explanation, and for bringing you all new
The problem with the charger started with the iPhone 5 and 5s. These trucks quickly break down and if you enter the Apple website in America and Britain, for example, you will find that customers give the charger only one and a half stars out of five, and most of them strongly criticize this product. The problem is that alternative products (even those approved by Apple) do not work after upgrading to iOS 7.
May Allah reward you
Peace be upon you. I would like to know if there is a new update for WhatsApp. Is there an upcoming voice call or not? If anyone has any news, please let me know. May God reward you.
I bought the original iPhone cover from their site for about $ 50, and after about two weeks they used it, the color completely changed ... the quality is not a factor, as Apple says
Apple parts were worth their value in the past, but today their quality has deteriorated dramatically, especially the accessories
A few months ago I bought a new MacBook Pro, and after XNUMX months the charger stopped working, and because Apple does not have an official store in the UAE, there is no guarantee on the accessories from us. I had to pay XNUMX dirhams for the price of the charger.
Quality deserves, especially after the information that you kindly listed, but this does not mean that the prices are a bit expensive, especially the accessories ...
There is also one thing that I take very seriously: Nice to be concerned with the software and the system, but why do they not improve the landscape and the prettier things if they are less important than the software?
For example, ringtones are difficult to change, and everyone with an iPhone ends up changing between three ringtones, and no one knows who is calling!
Another thing I noticed, I have an iPhone 7 with me, and the icons were in the first semi-three-dimensional, then came the ios2 to become the two-dimensional (7.1D) icons !!!!! Then with ios4, there was a gray background that divides the screen and in the background of the folders, and it has nothing to do with beauty (this gray color happened with the iPhone 5 only, it did not happen with the XNUMXs or the XNUMX)
These are very simple things and I do not think they are difficult for a company like Apple, so why not care about simple things that will not cost them and at the same time compete with other companies!
In the end, I respect the quality of Apple, but there is a need for constructive criticism if it helps
May Allah reward you for your efforts
You forgot to remember the support from Apple and the quality of the applications that Apple outperforms the Samsung account or Google twice.
Thank you, brother, for this enlightening information
For XNUMX years I tried all Android phones and every time I came back to the iPhone… a real phone that I depend on.
God bless you
Any Islamic arts, there is a big and dangerous loophole in the jailbreak that steals your account information and mail with a password !! Please review the loophole in the article and thank you. I miss Islam has innovated in its distinctive applications, especially this application for news. It continued ^ _ ^
Better Apple than others in the quality of its manufacture in all respects not to mention the elegance of the event and is not embarrassed
And the best thing, I prefer it when you buy a device from Apple, and after a period of sale, I decide not to lose much, unlike other companies
Hi
In my opinion, the reasons for raising the price in this way have several reasons, so do not be deceived by what is said and what is rumored about transportation costs, advertising expenses and the like, or the brand.
The trademark is a form of global trade, provided that there is protection for the mark and the registration of patents and the like to achieve pure financial gain by God. Have you ever heard that if one of the predecessors or even during the days of ignorance someone had invented something like a fist of a sword or as a dagger that he recorded The patent for himself or anyone who invented a bladder to save water that he registered a patent for this invention for himself and for you, my brothers, if such things had not been registered in our time, there would be products that are comparable to the iPhone and other brands, for example, and not limited to, it may be more beautiful than these products and it may reach a limit The competition until the price of the device reaches a third of its price now.
The conclusion is that the reason is capitalism and the age is now for the great multitudes of monsters who eat the whistling, and I consider that all companies, without exception, are based on monopoly and their huge profits because of these weak man-made laws.
Peace be upon you and sorry
I thank all the employees of iPhone Islam, thank you very much and very much
I ask God Almighty to give them the best reward for us
Nice info and great effort
May God reward you with paradise
I have the cable, it has three years, iPad XNUMX continues, I suffer for those who go, but it is near, it ends, I mean, it is interrupted, although I keep it.
Amm really is a strange thing in you Janas. Strangely intolerant of you. Anyone who says anything on merchandise from apple will be offensive by you. Brother, actually, cables that are not suitable and corrupt. From the many defending this company, I actually reached stupidity.
I am using the iPhone and there is a problem with the cable. It is really tested quickly and it does not last. I am here talking about the cable that comes with the device, and the same talk with the handset changes its color very quickly and its shape is not nice
I hope Apple is interested in this topic
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha and what about the app - back how much it costs and why its $ XNUMX looks like you are promoting Samsung 😉😉
We returned to the story of the shipping cable ?!
I have an iPhone that I have a year and a half with and nothing happened to the cable as if it was new, oh God, the color changed because of its dirty white color
Some people's cable problems are problems of misuse
Thank you very much to those in charge of this excellent website, and may God reward you with good
But I want to know why the price of the iPhone reaches $ 1200-1500
While it is offered on the Internet in America $ 199
What is offered in America at this price is not the full price of the device, it is linked to a plan with the telecommunications companies and is paid for by installments. As for the full price of the device, it is approximately $ 700 more than that due to the store you are buying from
Did you know that Toyota sells Land Cruiser cars to agencies for 80-90 thousand, then we sell them to agencies for 300-200 thousand
Profit rates are very high 😡
Thanks for the topic
I would like to add, for example, that the cost of cars and their equipment does not exceed 5,000 and they are sold for more than 50,000.
Of course, this is the work of all companies
Thank you for translating all Apple news. I hope to meet the iPhone manager or get his attention and respond to me because he always responds to a specific group.
With my love to you
In my personal opinion, smart devices are worth these prices, they have taken us a real shift in the world of communication, congratulations to the winners, they have made us high
Thank you iPhone - Islam
Your words in a locality of splendor
May God bless your tremendous efforts and your constant interest in providing us with information
What also distinguishes Apple is that the prices of its products are fixed and not like other companies such as Samsung and BlackBerry, BlackBerry, for example, the price of the device drops in half after XNUMX months of its release
This is what distinguishes Apple from its direction, and no one will regret it after purchasing
The Galaxy price drops in the market quickly, so that every little one will download the new phone. As for the iPhone, not in a good year
May Allah reward you for this wonderful effort
Thank you iPhone Islam for the kind information 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Hi
A thousand thanks for the information you provide
Worst cables manufactured by Apple
The original cable lasts more than four months, so the user for Apple devices is forced to buy a new cable (i.e. high quality you are talking about)
There are licensed cables from Apple such as Griffin and Amazon
The quality of the cable manufacturing exceeds that of the Apple cable in many stages
Not to mention the small screen in iPhones 😠
I am a user of Apple for a long time, and I also used to use the giant Samsung
My words are based on experience
Brother, I have Yvonne Baqala for almost a year, and the cable is sound. Praise be to God. Do not generalize your words
Brother, you just don't know how to use -_- (misuse)
I have been cable and freight and all the supplies have been with me for about a year and there is no harm to them
What is the smallness of the screen? Huh + _ +
The IPod Touch cable is what I got from the hour I bought a year ago (:
But, indeed, a lot of people complained about him in order to be fair in this matter D:
As for the small screen, it is the most important reason for me to buy a device from Apple ... The screen is reasonable in size and using it is very easy ^ _ ^
You simply, if you hate Apple, buy devices from any other company ... but don't forget that there are many people who adore it and everyone has his taste (;
By God, brother, each person has his own interests. I have an iPhone 4S and the charging cable is intact and in the best condition (of course I am talking about the original cable that came with the device). It is true that there may be cables that are superior in manufacturing quality, but that does not mean that you are detracting from the quality of Apple cables. And I am speaking from experience as well :)..
My dear brother, I have a charger for the iPhone that has lasted for nearly a year with me so far, everything is according to use
No, my brother until now has sat with me for a year and until now it has not been ruined, and I have not gone like sweetness, either with one I know of the Galaxy S4, the charger was ruined after nearly four months, and with the second one, Samsung repented 10.1 and destroyed the charger after about the same period, and with one I know so that I can be neutral. IPhone 4s destroyed after use A year and a half this is what I have, peace be upon you.
Peace be upon you,,
My dear brother, you have collected and generalized your words. It is better to talk about your own experience without generalizing or lowering the level of any company. As for me, I am like the rest of those who responded to your comment and a little more, so far and without any oath or swearing by God, I have 3 iPhone 5S + 4S + 3GS devices, and believe me, brother, I am still using the old iPhone 3GS charger and cable. If what you wrote in your comment is correct, then why are the charger and cable that came with the device still working? The point is that you misuse the cable and then complain about it and say that the quality is not as good as it should be. I will say it to you in colloquial language, have mercy, my dear, have mercy. If your device could talk, it would have complained about you ;)
Thank you iPhone Islam for the article, may God grant you success for what is beneficial for everyone
I have an iPhone 4 charger and to this day I use it and it's not ruined or anything
As for the small screen, Jake, iPhone6
My brother, keep the cable on the side of the Samsung device because its size is much worse than the Apple cable
I have had an iPhone 4 since its release in the era of Steve Goes
The charger and the cable are still XNUMX% intact, thank God
It is possible that it was misuse or ignorance of your use. As for me, thank God, my iPhone 4 I bought it several years ago and it is still working for me, as well as the accessories such as cable, charging cable, headphones and others.
God grants success.
Frankly, I discovered people who were fanatical to many Apple fans
Guys, by God, he will only say honesty is a bad Apple cable. After I used the Samsung Note XNUMX, I felt the difference in terms of the cable and the screen.
Even a difference from the restrictions, everything is restricted in camels .. For information you can see I am writing for you from the iPad XNUMX and the iPhone and iPad experiments
And my words are based on the experience of the two companies
Thank you
Brother, the iPhone does not get a virus, as for the Samsung, it gets a crazy disease. I tried the S3 and S4 because it is not restricted to be infected with vibros, and every period of time should be
The device has been chopped up like the iPhone for which Jailbreak is working, it gets crazy and bivrosat, and every time I have to grind it, did you know the limitations feature that is there to protect the device
My dear brother, with all due respect to your opinion, but the original iPhone cable has lasted for two years and a half and so far it has not broken or affected any harm. Good use is what remains in the life of the product
Sure, for the quality
Apple deserves and vice versa, it's cheaper than the Galaxy
It is natural that Apple products are the first in the world due to the existence of a policy, thought and planning, unlike other companies that aim only for profit. I have to admit Apple’s superiority and thank them for what they have provided.
Most companies do not sell phone parts or parts. In fact, they sell the technology or the price of the effort that the mind has changed to make the phone and the system ...
Of course, your words are true, and this is the prevailing system for all tangible and programmatic technologies.
