How much does it cost to make the Nano?

I've heard that for a 4GB Samsung chip, which the Nano uses is only about US$135. Obviously then there is the LCD screen and other stuff. But I was wondering, does anybody know roughly how much it costs to make a 4GB Nano? (not including the pay for the labour, just the actual parts)

I remember i read a cnet article about it. Samsung charges $54 for the 2gb memory modules. I'm guessing they charge $108 for the 4gb modules. This is very underpriced and could only be offered by Samsung because there the largest manufacturer of memory in the world. They added it up and the total cost in parts is about $90 excluding labor for the 2gb nano. The nano is apple most profitable product at the moment. Job has a reputation of keep the profit margain 20% on his products. The Nano is over 50%.

        I know cost is always a factor when shopping for a phone, Lkemp. The cost of the iPhone 6 does vary based on the model size you select and your upgrade eligibility. If you are currently eligible to upgrade (Dial #UPG to find out) then you can purchase the iPhone 6 at the 2 year price which starts at $199.99 for the 16GB model.

  • How much does it cost to replace the Ipad glass? Min and Max?

    How much does it cost to replace the Ipad glass? Min and Max?

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    Regards.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • How much does it cost to replace the late 2013 model Retina Macbook Pro battery?

    The page on Apple's website isn't very clear: www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html
    I just bought my first Mac computer ever and I'm loving it -- and the battery life is phenomenal. I'm just worried that in a year it'll be half of what it is now which would not be unlike any other non-Mac laptop, but I really like the battery life this Mac gives.
    So I'm wondering, at that point, how much would it cost to have the battery replaced? Does AppleCare include a battery replacement? I know that it's not exactly something I want to replace myself, so how much would it cost to have the Apple Store replace it, if not?

    Thanks for the response. I'm worried partially about voiding the warranty if I remove it, and iFixIt's teardown of the latest 2013 Retina model suggests that it may be quite difficult to do without breaking other components...
    If they wouldn't do it for free, is $129 the price of a battery, or the price of battery and replacement?

  • HT1338 how much does it cost to get the latest version of safari

    how much does it cost to get latest version of safari

    What MichelPM suggested is the SAFEST solution. Firefox is a better browser than Safari, and you will not be faced with any potentially crippling consequences of a full OS update.
    You will presumably have to update your system at some point, and you should prepare for that by maintaining a full, up-to-date backup of your current main system on an external hard drive. You can use SuperDuper ($25) or Carbon Copy Cloner (the legacy version, 3.5.7) to clone your current system to an external drive. This drive will be bootable and will provide you will a safety net if you decide to install Yosemite at some point.

    It's an out of warranty repair, so the cost starts at 219 for a mini, 249 for other models and goes up depending on drive size and whether or not it's 3G
    I would add that this is for a replacement iPad, not a screen, and that Apple does not repair just the screen (you probably knew that).
