Boasting a vast market and substantial economies of scale, Apple enjoys immense bargaining power within its supply chain. Recent reports have unveiled a staggering profit margin in Apple's after-sales battery replacement service. In a blog post critiquing the limitations of silicon-carbon batteries, Schrödinger revealed that the 5088mAh battery used in the iPhone 17 Pro Max costs Apple a mere $12 (equivalent to around RMB 83) to source. In contrast, a higher-energy-density, smaller 6000mAh silicon-carbon battery would cost approximately $18.
