Saving for an iPhone X?Watch Vacances A Ibiza (1982) Perhaps you've sold a car or taken an extra job to finance the ultra-expensive new Apple phone?

This makes the iPhone X the most expensive phone to make. According to IHS Markit, it's $50 more expensive than the 256GB iPhone 8 Plus. By comparison, a 64GB Samsung Galaxy S8 is only made of $302 worth of materials.

Of course, the "bill of materials" does not include costs like R&D and marketing, which are considerable, especially for a new, forward-looking device such as the iPhone X. IHS Markit says that Apple has likely maintained its "typical" hardware margins for the iPhone X.
