Apple has introduced the new iPhone 13 and customers across the globe are now waiting to get their hands on it at the earliest. The unfortunate part is, some buyers from certain regions will have to end up paying more than customers in the USA and other nations. In some cases, this hike can be almost double what the new iPhones cost in Apple’s home country.
A comparative list of the prices of the new iPhones in various countries has now emerged, as expected, the list shows that the USA is the cheapest place to purchase any model of the iPhone 13 Series. However, you do not want to buy an iPhone if you are living in Brazil.
This is mostly because some iPhone variants retail at their peak prices in Brazil. The trend has been witnessed across several models of iPhones over the years, the high prices of iPhones in the country arise from high taxes and bad currency.
Even though the price of the iPhone 13 is almost double that in some other countries, the new iPhones are about $100 cheaper than last year’s iPhones within the country.
The price list for the iPhone 13 across countries has been generated by Nukeni and takes into account the sales prices, including taxes as indicated by the Apple website.
The list reveals that Turkey has the most expensive prices for the iPhone 13 models. The base variant of the iPhone 13 mini with 128GB storage, for instance, retails in the USA for $729(53,545 INR). The same device sells in Turkey for $1310.56(95,587 INR), which is a difference of about $572, almost the price of the device itself.
Another example shows a price point of $829(60,900) for the iPhone 13’s 128GB variant in the US. The same iPhone retails for $1,446 (1,06,197 INR) in Brazil. A $999 price for the iPhone 13 Pro in the USA translates to a $1,893.24(1,39,053 INR) deal in Turkey. The flagship model, iPhone 13 Pro Max sells for $1,099(80,723 INR) in the USA but goes up to $2,129(1,56,378 INR) in Turkey.
A common list of names can be seen on both the top and bottom layers, countries such as the USA, Hong Kong, Japan, and Canada have the iPhone 13 on sale at the lowest prices. On the opposite end of the spectrum, countries such as Brazil, Turkey, Sweden, and India have the highest prices for iPhones.
The iPhone 13 mini prices in India begin at 69,900 INR for the 128GB model, the iPhone 13 begins at 79,900 INR while the iPhone 13 Pro starts at 119,900 INR and the iPhone 13 Pro Max begins at 1,29,900 INR.
In India, the latest iPhones are expensive due to the fact that they are imported items and the government levies heavy duties on them. One post went viral on social media that highlighted how Apple would be paying 40,000 INR on the iPhone 13 Pro, which has a listed price of $999 before taxes in the USA.
This means out of 119,900 INR that Apple charges for the iPhone 13 in India, almost 40,000INR are taxes it pays on the phone. Currently, Apple is making the iPhone SE 2 and the iPhone 11 in India, which is why their prices are relatively rational.
