In Türkiye, consumers pay the steepest price for a top-tier iPhone, at $2,182, the highest in the dataset.

Driving up prices are steep taxes, including a 50% luxury goods tax in addition to a value-added tax, among others. Altogether, they are largely responsible for the higher price tag.

Brazil ranks second, where an iPhone costs $1,835—about 70% more than in the U.S. As in Türkiye, import tariffs and multiple taxes push prices sharply upward.

In Europe, Sweden faces the highest iPhone costs, while Switzerland enjoys the lowest. The gap between them in 2025 is $218, with taxes once again accounting for much of the difference.

Meanwhile, South Korea stands as the sole outlier, where iPhones are actually 1% cheaper than in the U.S., coming in at $1,063.
