The bill of materials (BOM) for Google's Pixel 9 Pro is estimated at $406, making it significantly cheaper to produce than Apple's iPhone 16 Pro at $568.
The Pixel 9 Pro's BOM decreases by 11% compared to its predecessor, but this is misleading as it is a smaller model, not a direct comparison.
In contrast, the iPhone 16 Pro's BOM rises 6% from its predecessor, with key components like chipset, display, and camera significantly driving up costs.
Despite their differing manufacturing costs, both the Pixel 9 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro start at the same retail price of $999.
