This source [1] says an iPhone 8 Plus was estimated to cost ~$288 in raw materials.
This article links to a source that says a $1250 iPhone XS Max was estimated to cost $453 in raw materials.
When you subtract the component cost from the price of the phone, 63.76% of the cost of an iPhone XS Max is profit for Apple which is basically the same as the the 64% they were making on the iPhone 8 Plus.

- reustle 8y ago> These estimates also only look at raw component costs and do not take into account other iPhone manufacturing expenses like research and development, software creation, advertising, and distribution, so this information, while interesting, is not an accurate measurement of Apple's profit margin for the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus.
