The Price of the iPhone 12 Around the World

iPhone 11

Apple unveiled its new generation iPhone yesterday. The new models, iPhone 12 and 12 Pro will be available on October 23 and pre-orders can be placed starting Friday. Notable new features include the integration of 5G technology, a faster chip and improvements to the camera’s night mode, according to the manufacturer. The iPhone 12 is also available in a new mini format, while the Pro can be ordered in the tested Max screen size as well. Both special sizes will ship November 13 and can be pre-ordered from November 6.

In the U.S, the iPhone 12 will be available starting at US$33/month for a two-year contract. For ease of comparison, the price of the standard model is displayed at US$943 without contract, trade-in or sim-lock and including California state sales tax in our chart. Still, the iPhone price in the U.S. is quite low compared to other countries. The Japanese are also among the luckiest Apple customers. Here, the new iPhone model is available for under US$950 (including tax) for the 128 GB iPhone 12 and just over US$1100 for the 64 GB iPhone 12 Pro.

Indians customers, however, are paying a much higher price for the same phone. It will cost them upwards of US$1100 for the starter model and a whopping $1,636 for the Pro model. While the price of the iPhone 11 was one of the highest in the world in the UK and Russia, the price of the 12 model turned out lower — at least in comparison. Continental Europeans — for example in Germany and France — are paying more of a premium this time around.

The Cheapest Places in the World to Buy Apple Devices

By Jordan Nottrodt Accessories, Laptops, Phones April 20, 2020 No Comments

Some of you may still remember the days when Apple products were star souvenirs for those traveling to the US. High ticket devices like MacBooks and iPhones could end up 20-50% cheaper than in Europe, especially when purchased in states with a low tax rate.

Those days are long gone. More and more, we’re seeing the prices of Apple devices even out across Europe, Asia, and Australia. It’s definitely not worth changing your travel plans just to suit buying your next phone or computer, but you can save a few bucks if you happen to be traveling to a country that sells cheaper Apple products.

Below we’ll cover how to find the cheapest Apple products abroad as well as the current cheapest countries to purchase the latest MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and AirPods.

Finding the Cheapest Country to Buy Apple Products

Exchange Rates

When it comes to getting a bargain on Apple gear overseas, fluctuating exchange rates is the most important aspect to watch out for. You could be headed to a country thinking you’re going to find a great deal on an iPhone, only to find out the exchange rate has changed and it’s now more expensive than it would be at home.

Exchange rate changes are unavoidable, and if the cost difference is only a few bucks, it’s not worth waiting until you get to another country to make your purchase. The exchange rate versus your own currency could change in the meantime, making the products the same price or cost even more.

Taxes

Taxes are tricky, because some countries include the tax on the Apple website and some do not. Assuming you’re US-based, start by considering your own state and local taxes when figuring out whether to buy overseas.

If you live close to the border of a state with a lower tax rate, a short drive may get you a deal on pricey items. Wyoming (5.34%), Wisconsin (5.46%), and Maine (5.5%) have some of the lowest combined state and local rates in the country.

You’ll need to calculate the tax for each country you’re considering purchasing from in order to determine if the end cost is cheaper than it would be back home. In Japan, for example, you’ll see 税別 if tax isn’t included in the price, and 税込 if it is.

Here’s where taxes get even more complicated. In many countries, including popular destinations like Japan, Australia, and Thailand, tourists are able to get a tax refund. For high-priced items like MacBooks, your tax refund could be over $200.

You will still have to pay the tax upfront, but you can generally then get it back at customs as you leave the country, or in Japan at certain shopping centers. You’ll need to show your passport at the time of purchase, too.

The restrictions on tax refunds are different for each country, so don’t assume they apply to you. In Thailand and Australia, for instance, you need to take the purchased product out of the country within 60 days from the date of purchase, which may be a problem for long-term travelers and remote workers.

Trying to claim your refund at the time of departure could be a headache you don’t want to deal with at a busy airport, especially for lower-priced products like AirPods. If you decide to do so, give yourself plenty of extra time to stand in line and fill out forms.

Warranties

There’s a whole lot of mixed messaging about whether or not your standard Apple one year warranty or Apple Care is valid in another country. Some people claim to have saved money on warranties in other countries due to the store being unable to charge in a foreign currency. Others claim the process was exactly the same as at home.

In the worst cases, warranties don’t apply, or they require you to ship the item to the country of purchase for repairs, leaving you without your tech for several days or weeks. We’ve had first-hand experience of this in the past, due to Apple’s warranty containing an inconvenient loophole for iPhones and iPads bought in another country:

“IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.

Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.”

Product Differences

Beware of product differences. Apple products may look the same on the outside, but depending on the language, culture, and legal restrictions of the country you’re purchasing in, the product may be different than what you’re used to.

The keyboard could be different, or certain applications may not be included. In the UAE, for example, most Voice-over-IP (VoIP) apps are forbidden, so Apple products don’t come bundled with Facetime.

Always ask specific questions about keyboards, language settings, and anything else that might be different if you are purchasing an Apple product in another country.

After carefully considering exchange rates, taxes, warranties, and product differences, here are the best countries to purchase a variety of Apple products. Prices are based on data from early 2020.

Where Not to Buy

South America continues to have some of the highest-priced Apple products in the world. You’ll want to be particularly careful with your Apple products if you spend a lot of your travel time there, since finding a replacement will be a huge headache.

Brazil is among the world’s most expensive countries to buy Apple products, with iPhones costing up to 74% more than they do in the United States. You won’t be able to easily ship in a new phone or laptop either, since Brazilian import tax can be anywhere from 10% to 35% on tech entering the country.

The Cheapest Country To Buy MacBooks

You’re most likely to save money on the more expensive Apple products when purchasing them in another country. Saving 10% on a $2000 MacBook ($200) is much more worthwhile than saving 10% on $200 AirPods ($20).

If you’re in the market for a MacBook, the cheapest places in the world to buy them are Australia and Japan, depending on the model you’re looking for.

A 13-inch 1.4GHz 256GB MacBook Pro is currently listed in the US for $1499 USD. Once you add tax, you’re looking at spending anywhere from $1581 (5.5% tax) to $1641 (9.5% tax) depending on the state you live in.

In Australia, the list price (minus taxes) for a 13-inch 1.4GHz 256GB MacBook Pro is $1394 USD (A$2299 – A$209). If you qualify for and go through the process of getting a tax refund, you will save anywhere from $187-247 USD after you get your money back.

In Japan, the list price for a 13-inch 1.4GHz 256GB MacBook Pro is $1437 USD (¥159,800). If you qualify for and go through the process of getting a tax refund, you will save anywhere from $144-204 USD after you get your money back.

The Cheapest Country To Buy iPads

The cheapest place to buy an iPad depends completely on the model you’re looking for. Australia, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Japan rank amongst the best across all the various models available.

A 12.9-inch 64GB iPad Pro is currently listed in the US for $1149 USD. With tax, you’re looking at spending anywhere from $1212 to $1258, depending on the state you live in.

In Australia, the list price (minus taxes) for a 12.9-inch 64GB iPad Pro is $1063 USD (A$1749 – A$159). If you qualify for and go through the process of getting a tax refund, you will save anywhere from $149-195 USD after you get your money back.

The Cheapest Country To Buy iPhones

The cheapest country to buy an iPhone is Japan, followed by Australia, South Korea, and then the United States.

A 64GB iPhone 11 Pro Max is currently listed in the US for $1099 USD. With tax, you’re looking at spending anywhere from $1159 to $1203, depending on the state you live in.

In Japan, the list price for a 64GB iPhone 11 Pro Max is $1076 USD (￥119,800). If you qualify for and get a tax refund, you will save anywhere from $83-127 USD after you get your money back.

The Cheapest Country To Buy AirPods

When it comes to AirPods, you won’t be saving nearly as much as you would on larger Apple products. The cheapest places to buy AirPods are Australia and Eastern Asia. That being said, the difference is minimal, so if you’re in need of a new set of AirPods, go ahead and buy them at home or in many other places you might travel.

That said, beware of some countries in particular that charge much more for AirPods, including Russia, Romania, Indonesia, Cambodia, Moldova, Israel, and the big one, Brazil. There, it will cost you about double for that same pair of earphones.

AirPods Pro are currently listed in the US for $249 USD. With tax, you’re looking at spending anywhere from $263 to $273, depending on the state you live in.

In Australia, the list price (minus taxes) for AirPods Pro is $240 USD (A$399 – A$40). If you qualify for and go through the process of getting a tax refund, you will save anywhere from $23-33 USD after you get your money back.

Bottom Line

• The minimal savings available on Apple products aren’t worth planning a trip for the purchase alone, but regular or long-term travelers may be able to coordinate their Apple purchases to save up to $200 on larger items.
• As of early 2020, the best countries to purchase Apple products from are Australia and Japan.
• When purchasing a laptop from another country, always ask questions about keyboards, language settings, and other possible differences.
• On smaller Apple accessories, it’s not worth waiting until you get to a cheaper country. The wait time, coupled with the hassle of getting the tax refund, doesn’t justify the few bucks you’ll save.
• Beware of purchasing iPads and iPhones outside of your country of residence, since Apple is able to restrict the warranty to the country that originally sold the device. If warranties are important to you, saving $100-200 may not be worth the risk.

While we strive to provide you with up-to-date information, prices and currency exchange rates may be different at the time of reading. Head to Apple’s local stores for current prices and check the exchange rate beforehand.

Here’s how much each iPhone Apple makes costs in 15 different countries around the world

After Apple’s «By Innovation Only» event on September 10, when it announced three new phones, you might be thinking about buying a new iPhone.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max is the most expensive iPhone you can currently buy, and the iPhone 8 is the cheapest option still sold by Apple.

You can buy your iPhone directly from Apple, but prices vary around the world. The most expensive countries tend to have high-priced iPhones for every model, so if you’re in Russia, you’ll likely pay more no matter which iPhone you choose.
