`
`It has become a tradition for us at TechInsights… as the beautiful Fall season rolls around, we all prepare for our Apple Day - the annual teardown of
`the new Apple iPhone.
`
`You may still remember that Apple used the tagline “Say hello to the future” to introduce the Face ID-powered iPhone X in September 2017 (and
`TechInsights blogged about the Apple iPhone X teardown here, and conducted a costing comparison of several different 2017 agship phones
`here). This year, Apple is using the tagline “Welcome to the big screens” to unveil the iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xs, which can be interpreted to
`mean that larger screens are a key feature of this year’s iPhones.

`
`We have revised our initial estimates of the component cost of the iPhone Xs Max from $443.00 to $453.00, based on new information about the
`3D touch system. Our initial review of the phone indicated that some of the 3D components that were included in last year’s iPhone X had been
`removed, but further investigation revealed this not to be the case. We can conrm that the iPhone Xs Max includes the same Broadcom
`BCM15951 3D touch controller used in the iPhone X.
`
`This increases the Display cost from $80.50 to $90.50, for a total cost of $453.00.
`
`Some of the increases in cost from the iPhone Xs to the iPhone Xs Max are in the areas of baseband, larger OLED display, larger battery, more non-
`volatile memory, and a signicant increase in the cost of non-electronic components.
`
`The iPhone Xs Max has larger, heavier housings than the iPhone X, and the internal frame carries more process costs around spot welds, inserts,
`etc.
`
`The OLED display in the iPhone Xs Max is larger, increasing its cost, but that increase is tempered by the removal of some of the 3D touch
`components that were previously found in the iPhone X.
`
`Costing note: All cost estimates provided here are compiled using information available to us at the time of the initial teardown. Some assumptions
`have been made where concrete data is not yet available. We will continue to gather and rene this costing data throughout our ongoing deep-dive
`teardown process and analysis. While we do not expect drastic cost changes, we do expect some adjustments.

`
`A SanDisk SDMPEGF18 256 GB Flash memory module is found in our iPhone Xs Max. We will decap it and determine the origin of the ash
`memory die.
`
`Update October 3, 2018:
`The SanDisk SDMPEGF18 256 GB Flash memory includes the SanDisk/Toshiba 64-layer 3D NAND Flash die, which we have seen before.

`USI 339S00551. We suspect the module would still have a Broadcom Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo SoC. We will conrm this detail shortly.
`
`Update October 3, 2018:
`Yes, we conrm that the USI module has a Broadcom Wi-Fi/Bluetooth wireless combo SoC die. This is a die design we have not seen before, and
`TechInsights will launch further analysis on this part.
