Apple earns a lot of money from extra storage for iPhones
Published
Apple charges on average 300 to 400 dollars for an upgrade to the storage capacity of an iPhone. That is what a new study reports. Many customers choose more storage, because photos, videos and apps need more and more space.
According to the report, Apple itself pays less than 150 dollars for that extra storage. The difference between the selling price and the cost price is therefore large. This makes the storage upgrade an important source of profit for the company.
Customers who buy an iPhone in Belgium can also opt for a larger storage capacity. That choice does cost extra money. Those who think carefully in advance about how much storage they really need can avoid part of those costs.
Apple has not yet commented extensively on the figures from the study. It therefore remains unclear how the company itself explains the prices of the storage upgrades.
