Why Prices Differ Across Regions
Apple’s official US prices serve as the global benchmark. However, when the phones hit markets like Europe, the UK, and India, prices rise due to local taxes, import duties, and currency fluctuations.
For example, while the iPhone Air costs $999 in the US, it jumps to €1,219 in Europe. Similarly, the Pro models carry higher tags internationally, reflecting the same pattern as in past years.
