The country that sells the iPhone 14 at the highest price in the world.

For the past few years, Brazil has consistently been the country with the highest iPhone prices in the world, with models like the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and the third-generation iPhone SE (2022). However, this year, that position has been taken over by Türkiye, where the iPhone 14 has the highest selling price.

Specifically, a survey by Nukeni indicated that all iPhone 14 models in Türkiye are significantly more expensive. For example, the 128GB iPhone 14 Pro is sold in Türkiye at a price equivalent to the converted price. 2.193 USD, while prices in Brazil are only 1.823 USD.

In addition, the US and Japan are the two countries that sell iPhones at the cheapest prices, at prices of... 999 USD , and 1.039 USDOther countries facing the high price of the iPhone 14 include India, Hungary, and Poland.

With the standard iPhone 14, the rankings haven't changed much either. The cheapest is... 829 USD In the US, the standard version is not committed to a carrier. Japan comes in second with... 831 USD For the 128GB version of the iPhone 14.

Meanwhile, Türkiye remains the country selling the iPhone 14 at the highest price, double that of the US market. 1.699 USD.

According to 9to5mac, Nukeni updates its ranking of iPhone prices in various countries annually, based on information from Apple's official website. These prices vary depending on the currency, local taxes, and other factors.

Türkiye has become the country with the highest selling price for the iPhone 14 because it is facing a severe economic crisis, with inflation reaching 80% for the first time in 20 years.

Previously, in 2021, Apple temporarily halted sales of its devices in the Turkish market due to the Turkish lira losing 15% of its value in a single day. When sales resumed, the tech giant increased product prices by 25%. App Store and app prices also increased significantly in the country.

Türkiye is not the only country suffering the severe consequences of rising inflation rates. According to 9to5macYesterday, Apple quietly increased the prices of its products in several European countries, but the iPhone SE went up from 419 euros to 449 euros (converted) in the UK.

The reason is that both the euro and the British pound have depreciated due to various factors, such as the conflict in Ukraine, forcing technology companies like Apple to adjust their prices.

9to5mac It is argued that price changes are uncommon in European countries, especially the UK, but are frequent occurrences in Brazil, India, and Türkiye.

Furthermore, just before the launch of the new iPhone, Apple was fined by the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and ordered to stop selling all iPhone models that do not include a charger in the box. The agency demanded "the immediate suspension of the supply of all iPhone-branded smartphones, regardless of model or generation, that do not include a charger."
