The iPhone 12 Pro is the most expensive in the lot and the company is selling it for USD 999 in the United States and Rs 1,19,900 in India. However, the components used on the phone are way cheaper than anyone’s expectations. We are not claiming this, the Bill of Materials report has revealed that the iPhone 12 Pro component cost is USD 406 which is approx Rs 30,000. The report also suggests that the iPhone 12 component cost is USD 373 (approx Rs 27,500).
