Let's look at it from the smallest point. Without a contract, it costs iPhone 12 mini in 64 GB variaIn the United States, it costs $729. In Japan, it costs $795, in India, $944, in Portugal, $984, and in Italy, it costs $996. Brazil is the record holder in this category, as customers buy this model for $1268, or almost 28 crowns.

In Japan for $1602, in Germany for $1851, in Italy for $1946 and in India for $2159. Brazil is also "at the top" here, because iPhone 12 Pro Max The 512GB version will cost $2535, which is roughly 57 crowns. However, Brazil may not always be at the top of this ranking, as the new models have not yet been launched in Argentina, where prices are generally even higher.
Prices vary, of course, due to taxes and other charges. For example, the Brazilian and Indian governments impose extremely high taxes on devices that are not manufactured there. Be Apple in these two countries, it assembles iPhones, even so it does not avoid additional taxes and high fees that adversely affect the price of these products. In Brazil, the price is set this way also because the currency tends to change its value frequently. Apple thus simply insuring himself that he will not lose on the sale.

🤦
yes, that's what many people do today, they only read the title of the article and then only the discussion, then one has the feeling that there is only mordor in this world, people are depressed and death is around every corner... fake, hoax, etc.
I admit that I also enjoy the discussion the most :-)
One thing is the price of the device itself, another is the financial burden it represents for the consumers themselves. A thousand dollars is a completely different amount to Japanese and Germans than it is to Indians and Brazilians.
