Apple is the most profitable company in the world according to Forbes with the net worth $256 billion and annual profits nearing $50 billion, and it owes most of this to the iPhone. If you even imagine getting an iPhone, you have to be prepared to empty out your pockets, but the price varies significantly with every country. Deutsche Bank released its “Mapping the World’s Prices” report, and it lists the prices for the iPhone 7 in 33 different countries across the world. You might save yourself some major bucks if you get it on one of your travels.
The reasons for the diverse prices depend greatly on political environments, currency valuations, and local tax laws. The political stability and the spike in US dollar appreciation have brought Tukey to the top in the list of countries for the most expensive iPhone. The cheapest place to get an iPhone will obviously be the US, but it surprisingly costs the same even in Japan.
