Are Apple products more expensive overseas?
I'm an American citizen living overseas in Italy. Someone stole my iPhone 4s and i'm thinking about buying a new one at the Apple store here. Are prices higher here? Because on the US apple website the price for an unlocked iPhone 4s is 529 dollars. And the Apple Italia price is 629 EURO! So it is more expensive? Why?
It most definitely should not be more expensive, unless the prices are adjusted for inflation or tax purposes.
If you don't want to pay a higher price in Italy, I would maybe consider ordering from the usa/uk website?
I'm not 100% sure when it comes to different prices in different areas because it can be caused by many different factors. Possibly you could use ebay international? (you would have to pay some extra money for shipping, but it could still work out to be cheaper than Italian prices?)
I'm from the uk so these are just suggestions, I'm not entirely sure but I hope I helped. Also, I hope that you get a good Iphone for a reasonable deal!
They are about the same everywhere.
- Will the iPhone 5 be significantly more expensive than the iPhone 4S? Basically, will the pricing for a new iPhone 5 be the same compared to the current iPhone 4S? Or do you think it will be more than the price of the iPhone 4S now? I'm contemplating just waiting for the iPhone 5 to buy a new phone but if it's going to be significantly more expensive than the iPhone 4S then I don't know if it is worth it.
- Why the iphone 5s is more expensive on ebay than in the apple store? I'm not complaining or anything just want to understand why would anyone buy it on ebay or what could be the reason why it is more expensive on ebay. Usually it is the other way around and on ebay you can get better deal but seems like when it comes to iphone 5s it is not the case. But why?
- Why is the iPhone 5 more expensive in Canada? On http://store.apple.com/...ly/iphone5 (the US website) the 16GB is $199 but on the Canadian website http://store.apple.com/...ly/iphone5 the 16GB is $699? What sense does that make? Is it really a 500 dollar difference when you buy it from the states? Why is it like that? Or am i just reading it wrong?
- Why is the iphone 5 more expensive here in Australia? Outright purchase of the iphone 5 64gb in Australia costs $999 whereas the US sells it for $399. Why exactly is this a huge difference considering that our currency is fairly close?
