Introduction

When we think of a company, we usually just think of the end product; for example, we think of the iPhone and Apple, HP laptops and Hewlett Packard, and Pepsi and Pepsi Inc. As consumers, we do not consider the process that takes place to transform raw materials into finished goods. In terms of the Apple iPhone, we dont think of the glass screen, the battery, the charger, and the hundreds of different parts that make up the phone, we just see the end result.

Apple's Product Development Process might be one of the best plan processes at any point carried out. With a valuation that surpasses $2 trillion, there's a great deal that architects can gain from Apple and bring into their own plan environments. Apple is a famously mysterious business. In Steve Jobs' time at the organization, it would have been close to difficult to look into the inner activities of the business. This isnt really to be expected when a business' market advantage is its plan approach. It merits holding it under wraps.

Apple has around 10,000 robots that assemble the iPhone with each robot being able to assemble 30,000 devices. Because Apple is the world 's largest company in terms of market capitalization, it is difficult to get a detailed account of Apples production process because their competitors are likely to imitate that process and/or even surpass it in some capacity. Apple does not disclose their manufacturing process to the public due to this reason, but it is safe to assume that Apple has the most effective production process because Apples profit margin is roughly 40%. A profit margin of 40% is considered to be extremely efficient because even its competitor Samsung, can only maintain profit margins of around 15%. Apple also partners with hundreds of different suppliers to make sure that it stays relevant to in the technology market. Companies that Apple partners with is Intel, Molex, Samsung, and hundreds.

iPhone as an Example

Anyone who has bought an iPhone, or another Apple product has seen the note on the companys packaging that its products are designed in California, but that doesn't mean they're manufactured there. Answering the question of where the iPhone is made isn't simple.

Assembled vs. Manufactured

When trying to understand where Apple manufactures its devices, there are two key concepts that sound similar but are different: assembling and manufacturing. Manufacturing is the process of making the components that go into the iPhone. While Apple designs and sells the iPhone, it doesn't manufacture its components. Instead, Apple uses manufacturers from around the world to deliver individual parts. The manufacturers specialize in particular itemscamera specialists manufacture the lens and camera assembly, screen specialists build the display, and so on. Assembling, on the other hand, is the process of taking all the individual components built by specialist manufacturers and combining them into a finished, working iPhone.

The iPhone's Component Manufacturers

Because there are hundreds of individual components in every iPhone, it's not possible to list every manufacturer whose products are found on the phone. It's also difficult to discern exactly where those components are made because sometimes one company builds the same component at multiple factories.

Where do iPhone components come from?

Apple buys many of the components for iPhones like the memory chip, the modem, the camera module, the microphone and the touch-screen controller from more than 200 suppliers around the world.

Some of the suppliers of key or interesting parts for the iPhone and where they operate, included:

1. Accelerometer: Bosch Sensortech, based in Germany
2. Battery: Sunwoda Electronic, based in China
3. Camera, Compass, LCD Screen: Sony, based in Japan with locations in dozens of countries
4. Gyroscope: STMicroelectronics. Based in Switzerland, with locations in 35 countries
5. Glass Screen, Wi-Fi chip, Audio Chips: based in the U.S.

The iPhone's Assemblers

The components manufactured by those companies all around the world are ultimately sent to just two companies to assemble into iPods, iPhones, and iPads. Those companies are Foxconn and Pegatron, both of which are based in Taiwan.
