5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
The statement was made during a Qualcomm's suit against Broadcom for patent infringement. Other companies reportedly supplying parts for the iPhone include Samsung, Marvell and Infineon. iSuppli's widely reported preliminary estimate of $US280.83 as the total cost of manufacturing an iPhone apparently involved estimates of individual component prices to the nearest 5c without definitive knowledge of which parts would be used. Presumably iSuppli relied their own and other analysts' market intelligence regarding which companies have received contracts, and based their numbers on the most likely items from each suspected supplier's catalogue. Eventually, enough will be known about the iPhone to make meaningful estimates, but we doubt that will happen until analysts have actually pulled a sample apart. That said, iSuppli's teardown analyses are generally regarded as gospel.{moscomment} |
