Apple's margins are taking the hit.
A new report claims that Apple's brand-new iPhone 13 costs around $20 more to build than the outgoing iPhone 12 Pro. That despite the fact that Apple sells the newer model for the same price as the old one.
According to data shared by TechInsights, Apple's new flagship device costs around $570 to build, whereas last year's model took less than $550 to put together.
