There is a
considerable variation in iPhone prices around the world with handsets
in Indonesia and Sweden also coming with hefty price tags, especially
when compared with the United States. In 2016, an iPhone 6 costs around
$598 in the U.S. while in Brazil, it will set you back $931.
Even though the iPhone costs a small fortune in Brazil, the price has
dropped substantially in recent years, according to World Bank data reported by the World Economic Forum.
In 2015, an iPhone 6 cost $1,254 and this fell to $931 this year,
primarily due to the real gaining 10 percent against the dollar. Still,
when an American purchases an iPhone in Brazil, he or she will have to
pay 56 percent more for the device there than at home.
