Test of iPhone 12 and 12 Pro
Most expensive in Brazil
The Brazilian website Tecnoblog have checked the prices of this particular model around the world. Of the countries they have checked, Brazil is clearly the most expensive, where the most generous iPhone model costs as much as 22,920 kroner if we take into account the current exchange rate, ie 28 percent more than it costs in Norway
In the back place we find India (19,520 kroner), while Italy in third place in Tecnoblog’s survey is actually a bit cheaper than Norway. In other words, it is far from all countries that are included in the price survey.
Cheapest in the home country
The most reasonable is the phone in the USA (New York), where it costs 13,750 kroner when you include VAT. It varies from state to state in the United States, and in New York it is just under nine percent (25 percent in Norway). The price difference is quite exactly NOK 4,000 versus the Norwegian price.
If we take a look at the prices in the rest of the Nordics, we see that the 512 GB version of the iPhone 12 Pro Max costs the following (converted to Norwegian kroner):
Norway: NOK 17,890
Sweden: 18,686 kroner
Denmark: 17,728 kroner
Finland: 17,346 kroner
Therefore, it is the most expensive in Brazil
Macworld points out that the iPhone may prove to be even more expensive in Argentina when released there, since the price level in Argentina is traditionally higher than in Brazil.
In both Brazil and India, significant taxes are levied on products not produced in the country. In addition, it is mentioned that sudden inflation is quite common in Brazil, and that Apple and other manufacturers therefore choose to set prices quite high in the first place.
