the most expensive in the world; The Turkish government earns more than Apple from the sale of iPhones! + Price

Türkiye’s economy is not in a good state and the value of lira is decreasing day by day. This devaluation will mean an increase in the price of imported electronic devices, one of the most popular of which is the iPhone. Now, according to a report, iPhones in Turkey have the highest price in the world, and the more interesting thing is that the Turkish government earns more money from selling them than Apple itself.

iPhones are sold cheaper in the US than in other countries, and usually Brazil or a European country is home to the most expensive iPhones. But now Turkey is at the top of the list of the highest prices for iPhones, which apparently brings good income to the government of this country.

The income of the Turkish government from the sale of iPhones is higher than Apple!

To Gizmochina reportThe 1TB version of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is sold in the United States at a price of $1,599, costs $3,273 in Turkey, which makes it the most expensive country in the world to buy this product.

You might think to yourself that $3,273 is going straight into Apple’s bank account, but it’s not. Apple only earns $1,636 from the sale of the 1TB version of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and the rest ($1,637) goes to the Turkish government as taxes. Therefore, the government has more income from this smartphone than Apple itself, as the manufacturer of the iPhone.

We must mention that Apple had to stop online sales of its products in Turkey due to the fall in the value of the lira. Although the sale of these products resumed, their prices increased significantly; An increase that happened even in recent weeks.

The iPhone 14 with 128GB of internal storage is now on sale in Turkey for 42,499 liras, or $1,818, more than double its $799 price tag in the United States. After Turkey, Brazil is on the list of the highest prices and this Apple phone is sold for $1547.82 in this country.
