Over the past decade, the Iphone has transformed Apple into the world's most profitable and biggest technology company. The launch of a new iPhone X, has a big influence on how the Internet economy is taking shape around us works.
A host of app developers, chip makers and other industries depend on the Apple economy for survival. And business owners too want to be able to work on the world's most popular smartphone.
An Iphone is not so much a new gadget but a new technological ecosystem. It's powered by a closed operating system known as IOS, and not even the FBI can gain access. This is the key to Apple's success.
Now, many people are worried about Apple's dominant position with its suppliers and customers. Apple doesn't even have to be price competitive. It's newest model the Iphone X is the world's most expensive iphone ever.
According to analysts at IHS, the cost of the components inside a typical iphone add up to around $200. Apple maintains that teardown price does not take into account the time and money spent on research, software and transport.
