Apple iPhone 12 Pro costs roughly Rs 30,000 to make but starts at Rs 1,19,000 in India

Apple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro cost roughly Rs 27,500 and Rs 30,000 to make, as per a new teardown report that reveals the Bill of Materials (BoM) for the two phones. The iPhone 12 was launched alongside the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Mini in October and have recently gone on sale in India. The iPhone 12 is priced starting at Rs 79,900 while the iPhone 12 Pro starts at Rs 1,19,900.

According to a new teardown report by Nikkei in collaboration with Tokyo-based research specialist Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, the BoM for the iPhone 12 totals to $373 (~Rs 27,500) while that of the iPhone 12 Pro is $406 (~Rs 29,900). Do note, however, that various overhead charges go into deciding the retail price of the phone.

The report also indicates that the most expensive parts inside the iPhone 12 series are the Qualcomm X55 5G modem at $90 followed by the OLED display that is manufactured by Samsung at $70. Sony is the key supplier for the camera sensors used in iPhone 12 Pro including the wide-angle and telephoto camera that is priced between $5.40-$7.40 per unit. Moreover, the A14 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro is expectedly priced at $40 with RAM and memory chips supplied by Samsung costing $12.8 and $19.2 per unit respectively.

Additionally, the battery on the iPhone 12 series has been redesigned and the report states that the capacity was cut by 10% in order to get additional space for new components. The battery cells are made by Amperex Technology Ltd which is a Hong-Kong based company. 

The teardown report also reveals the origin of the component providers with South Korea accounting for 26.8% of share followed by the US and Europe at 21.9%. The report notes that while China accounts for less than 5% of the component share, Apple still prefers to outsource iPhone assembling to producing sites in China. The other two countries from where the components are sourced include Japan and Taiwan with a 13.6% and 11.1% share, respectively.

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image. It was Google’s algorithms that erroneously matched the two. What’s even more problematic is that Hristo Georgiev is not a unique name and is shared by hundreds of other people.  As...
