iPhone X brings more revenue for Samsung than Samsung Galaxy S8 regarding the production of components for the production of the two mobile phones. According to some information provided today by an American company specialized in analyzing the production of mobile phones, Samsung earns 4 billion dollars more from the production of components for the iPhone X than for the Samsung Galaxy S8.
The iPhone X has a series of components produced by the Samsung company, including the screen or the NAND memory for the storage space, the Samsung Galaxy S8 having a bit more. Although Samsung makes money producing these components through the sale of the Samsung Galaxy S8, what it collects from Apple for the components used in the iPhone X exceeds the amounts it earns for the components in its own mobile phones.
iPhone X has sales in the next 2 years estimated at 130 million units, while Samsung Galaxy S8 will generate sales of only 50 million units in the same period. For these sales of the iPhone X, the Samsung company would collect about 130 dollars for the components produced for each phone, while in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S8 it will collect 202 dollars for the components.
iPhone X – Samsung earns more than the Galaxy S8
The iPhone X and the Samsung divisions that produce components for mobile phones would turn the two companies into the most profitable on the planet for 2017, excluding Chinese banks. iPhone X will generate limited profit for the Apple company due to the delayed launch, but those from Samsun earn large sums of money for the components created for various mobile phone manufacturers.
iPhone X will bring a lot of money to Samsung in the next 2 years, the difference of 4 billion being only compared to what Samsung produces for the Samsung Galaxy S8. In reality, from the iPhone X, Samsung will earn over 10 billion dollars in the next 2 years, and if we include the iPhone 8 series and other Samsung phone models, then the Koreans will actually earn much more.
"Counterpoint expects Apple will sell 130 million iPhone X units, earning Samsung $110 on each through the summer of 2019, while Galaxy S8's global sales are expected to be 50 million, earning Samsung $202 each from components such as displays and chips in its first 20 months of sales, according to estimates based on a projected bill of materials. The Counterpoint analysis includes parts sales from Samsung Electronics plus two Samsung affiliates that make batteries and capacitors."
The iPhone X will generate even more money for the Apple company during 2018, and this if Apple can cover the demand on the global markets. Combining sales of the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, Apple may record more than $300 billion in revenue in 2018, but it all depends on Americans' ability to meet the huge demand for phones next year, and this will be extremely difficult to achieve, according to analysts.
