What the iPhone X costs around the world
If you want to buy Apple's highly-
anticipated iPhone X in the U.S., you'll
have to shell out $999 for it.
If you live elsewhere, you'll have to pay even more.
Apple ( , Tech30 ) charges different prices for its
devices from country to country, depending in part on
taxes and how each local currency compares with the
U.S. dollar .
In some countries, like Canada and Japan, the iPhone X
costs about $100 more than it does in the U.S. In other
nations, like Italy and Ireland, the phone is over $400
more expensive than it is in the States.
Apple analyst Gene Munster of Loup Ventures said that
iPhones tend to cost between $50 and $300 more
internationally.
Frank Gillett, an analyst at Forrester Research, pointed
out that it's hard to compare prices across countries not
only because they include currency conversions and
local taxes, but because the device's true cost also
depends on the average resident's income.
With that in mind, here's how much the iPhone X costs
in 15 countries, according to Apple's website. The prices
were converted to U.S. dollars using Google's currency
calculator.
