The upcoming Xbox 'Magnus' is expected to be a high-end, powerful console with a bill of materials exceeding $650, potentially pushing its retail price above $1000 due to high costs and support for third-party stores, which may influence Sony's PlayStation 6 strategy.
The Apple Vision Pro AR headset costs over $3,499, with the 'Bill of Materials' totaling more than $1,500, primarily due to the expensive dual-4K micro-OLED screens, each costing $228. The remaining components were not listed, but the 4K displays make up nearly 30 percent of the total cost. Apple is reportedly evaluating Chinese display suppliers to reduce costs for the successor. A more affordable version with downgrades is expected to launch in 2025, powered by an iPhone SoC. The M2 and R1 chipsets are the second most expensive components, with mass production not expected until 2027.
The components of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra only account for 39% of the phone's $1,200 price tag, with the chipset and cellular components being the most expensive parts. The bill of materials (BoM) cost is estimated to be $469, but this doesn't include other production costs. Samsung-made parts account for 33% of the BoM, while Qualcomm-made parts account for 34%. Despite the high price, the Galaxy S23 Ultra was the fifth best-selling smartphone in Q1 2023.
