iPhone 16 Prices and Global Market Analysis

Although Apple’s user-friendly service policy seems attractive, the prices of iPhones always remain at the highest level in the market. This high price range manages to stay at a few hundred dollars in many countries around the world. The pre-order prices for the newly introduced iPhone 16 are set at $800 for the 128 GB model and $900 for the 256 GB model in the US. However, these prices vary in each country due to customs duties and various additional taxes that differ from country to country. Therefore, the prices of the iPhone 16 vary worldwide as follows:

• Turkey: $1,909
• Brazil: $1,396
• Hungary: $1,112
• Norway: $1,112
• Sweden: $1,110
• Denmark: $1,110
• Finland: $1,103

So, what prices will the 256 GB iPhone 16 Pro Max, which will be sold for $1,099 in the US, be offered for worldwide? Here are some examples:

• Turkey: $2,936
• Brazil: $2,238
• India: $1,725
• Denmark: $1,701
• Sweden: $1,690
• Norway: $1,668
• Hungary: $1,668

It seems that the most expensive iPhones in the world are sold in Turkey. Additionally, the impact of customs duties on US exported products is noticeably felt in European countries such as Denmark and Sweden. Furthermore, the prices set by Apple for its products and services are quite high not only in Turkey but also in the US. While some products from competing brands may be more successful in certain areas, they can find a place in the market with lower price tags. However, Apple’s high pricing policy allows technology prices in the markets to rise, enabling competitors to demand higher prices as well. This situation ultimately causes all consumers to be negatively affected by Apple’s high pricing policies.
