Due to local taxes, the recently announced Apple iPhone 13 series is rather expensive in India. However, Brazil has the highest prices in the world, followed by Turkey. While the price difference may not be significant for the more economical iPhone 13 and 13 mini, it may sting you if you buy from India for the Pro models. Even with a high tax rate of roughly 9.25 percent and a high US Dollar purchase rate of Rs 76 per USD, you might save over Rs 35,000 if you buy the new iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max from the US. Local tariffs and GST in India are some of the key reasons for the enormous price disparity.
