It is worth keeping in mind, especially for those who love this type of rankings, that Brazil could lose the first bit I’m as soon as the new iPhone family will be launched in Argentina, a country where iPhone prices are typically even higher. Apple has never announced how prices are set in various countries around the world, but obviously local taxes and currency have a significant impact.

In Brazil and India the government It imposes sky-high taxes on devices that are not manufactured in the country, and it is precisely to obtain targeted tax incentives that in recent years Apple has begun to assemble iPhones in these countries. Despite everything, Apple must still fix prices also in consideration of the currency volatility in each country , so that the prices do not suffer losses due to fluctuations, very common for example in Brazil.
