To back up what JofArnold is saying, I have been told that Hon Hai (aka Foxconn) receives about $15 for the assembly of an iPad. I'd bet they get about the same, give or take $10 for assembling each iPhone. As a point of reference an assembly worker there makes about $3,500 USD per year or $1.50 per hour (note, the company provides housing and some food).
- JofArnold 16y agoThat's an interesting figure - thanks. I'd really love to see the breakdown - the manufacturing geek in me is getting all excited thinking about whether or not they deburr, how processed the parts are when they arrive as Foxconn etc etc.
