iPhone prices worldwide — where is the cheapest iPhone?
iPhone prices vary significantly across countries. The same model can cost ₹20,000-₹36,000 more in India than in the USA or Japan, due to India's 18% GST, import duties and Apple's pricing tiers. This calculator shows you the exact price in every major market so you can decide where to buy.
Why iPhones are cheapest in the USA and Japan
The USA has no federal sales tax on the base price and a highly competitive retail environment (Apple Store, Best Buy, Amazon, carrier stores) that keeps iPhone prices at or near global MSRP. Japan offers aggressive iPhone pricing due to market competition and a strong electronics retail sector, plus tourist VAT benefits.
Dubai (UAE) is also competitive: only 5% VAT means iPhones are 15-20% cheaper than in India. Tourists can claim a further VAT refund, making Dubai one of the cheapest global markets for iPhone buyers.
