High profit margins have always attracted the attention of many users, especially when some sensational blogs begin to publish the individual price of the components that are part of the product, whether you are Mac, iPhone, iPad ... In these cases, it is only considered It counts the price of the components, without adding the cost of labor, the price of transport, the cost of the research and development department, the maintenance of the stores, the salaries of the employees and so we could be all day. Apple like the big companies, works with a profit margin of 20%.
But in recent months it is seeing how some components are raising their price and the Cupertino-based company does not want to raise the price of its products even more, so according to Digitimes magazine, Apple is pushing component suppliers to try to keep manufacturing costs as low as possible. Foxconn and Pegatron are the companies that are being most affected by these new requirements of the company are based in Cupertino. But they are not the only ones, since the company is looking for new suppliers to try to continue maintaining current margins without having to affect the end user of their increase.
In this way, it is very likely that many new manufacturers are receiving a higher number of orders to try to compensate for the reduction in revenue That can reduce costs if they do not want to start letting them enter as before. Let's hope that the company does not dedicate itself to reducing the quality of the components to continue maintaining profit margins, which would make the company's products a headache for their users.
