近日，據業內人士Schrödinger透露，iPhone 17 Pro Max使用的5088mAh電池，蘋果採購成本約為12美元;而能量密度更高、體積更小的6000mAh矽碳電池，成本也僅為18美元左右。然而，這一成本優勢並未體現在消費者端。
Si/C batteries are not ready enough for main stream brands. I've said it over and over again, this people that claim to know tech on twitter don't know anything. Apple's 5088mAh battery cost $12 and a 6000mAh smaller than it cost $18 you think its about cost cutting??
根據蘋果官方定價，iPhone 17 Pro Max在美國的電池更換費用為119美元。
如果上述成本資訊準確，意味著每塊電池更換服務可為蘋果帶來約100美元的毛利潤，利潤率接近89%。即使考慮倉儲、物流與分散維修帶來的運營成本，如此高的加價幅度仍凸顯出其在售後環節的強勢定價權。
