The iPhone 5s and 5c were released on September 20, which is approximately 3 months, and we have reviewed in a previous article the prices of the device in some Arab countries - you can find it via this link-. But due to production problems, the device has not yet reached more than 100 countries, as Apple promised at its conference, of course the device is now present in all countries of the world, but the official availability leads to lower prices. Prices varied in all Arab countries, for example, it reached the equivalent of $ 707 in the Emirates and $ 746 in Saudi Arabia, but in Egypt it reached $ 970 for the iPhone 5s, a 16-gig version, and the same thing in many countries, which may prompt some to buy it from outside their country. If you are considering buying an iPhone (or any devices for Apple), follow the following lines with us to learn about prices around the world.
There are many reasons for the high prices, and it is not always the greed of the seller, as you will find the costs of importing devices, the small amount of incoming quantities compared to the high turnout and of course "taxes".

As for the prices without tax, you can see the following picture that shows 13 countries, and you will notice that the cheapest iPhone 5S was in the United States, as its price reached $ 649, and the highest is also in Brazil at $ 1005.
Conclusion: The previous prices are for the iPhone 5s of 16 GB capacity without contracts, and it shows that if you are thinking of buying an iPhone or any of the Apple devices of course, your first choice is.America or the Emirates“Where the prices are the cheapest in the world, followed by Hong Kong, Kuwait and Malaysia.

The true cost of buying an iPhone:
Apart from digital prices, how much does it cost to buy an iPhone around the world? For example, if we assume that a commodity has a price of $ 1000 in America and a price of $ 500 in Egypt, then theoretically its price in Egypt is cheaper, but in practice the average income in America is 8 times Egypt, and therefore the citizen’s purchasing power there is 8 times that of Egypt, meaning that the price of $ 500 for an Egyptian is equivalent. $ 4000 for an American. There is a specialized site that compared the price of the iPhone with the average annual income of a citizen and found that the price is equal to:
- Qatar is 0.76% of the average annual income of a citizen
- America 1.36% of the average annual income of a citizen
- Kuwait is 1.86% of the average annual income of a citizen
- The UAE is 2.42% of the average annual income of a citizen
- Saudi Arabia is 2.44% of the average annual income of a citizen
- England is 2.45% of the average annual income of a citizen
As for the highest cost in the world, it is in India, where the price of the device reaches 22.69% of the average annual income of a citizen, and the arrangement is as follows:
- India is 22.69% of the average annual income of a citizen
- Vietnam is 19.74% of the average annual income of a citizen
- Jordan is 18.23% of the average annual income of a citizen
- The Philippines is 17.87% of the average annual income of a citizen
- Brazil is 10.18% of the average annual income of a citizen

My iPhone 5s has a problem with the speaker. When I call, the voice is weak for the person calling me, but the caller's voice is clear to me. Therefore, I had to use the speakers to solve the problem. What is the solution? Thank you and appreciation. I bought the device from America.
Apple deserves millions

Hi
My experience with the iPhone 3S. I bought the American 4, but I suffered from a network problem. Only XNUMXG. The XNUMXG network was not showing. I went to settings (cellular) and did not find LET. I found XNUMXG.
What is the solution for Yvonne Islam, waiting for the solution?
In Lebanon, for example
IPhone 5s / 16GB
Price: $ XNUMX
Who is the most expensive in the world ??
In Baghdad, its price is $ 740, a capacity of 16 GB
Capacity 845 kika $ XNUMX
Indeed. Brazil is one of the most expensive countries in the world in everything, not just phones.
Sao Paulo state is the XNUMXrd most expensive state in the world
Public transport prices are the most expensive place in the world
In fact, the per capita income level does not match the country's prices here
Tax on everything, even water
In the other, Chloe insults for the goodness of the people of Brazil
Did you know that Apple refused to provide FaceTime service in the UAE and some countries for reasons?
1- Emirates Telecom does not follow proper standards in providing Internet service, a mobile phone that subscribes XNUMX gb and finds it XNUMX MB as for the rest of the countries, in fact XNUMX
XNUMX- Due to the high Internet cost, Apple asked Etisalat Emirates, the maximum limit, the subscription must be approximately XNUMX dirhams in order for people to use it.
XNUMX- The FaceTime service should not pass through the cache server because it slows down the Internet and FaceTime does not run automatically
Apple imposed these conditions in 1, where the Internet subscription was 1 dirhams XNUMX gb, but now the XNUMX gb is XNUMX dirhams
Note that Apple does not usually impose restrictions on Internet service on the service provider, but if the Internet subscription exceeds the maximum limit, the service will not work well. News reported that negotiations have taken place between Etisalat UAE and Apple to activate FaceTime recently

The iPhone 5s uses a lot of battery, it is not enough for one day. What is the solution and why is there no warranty on it?
Hi
As far as I know there is no state in America without taxes
But there are states where taxes are fairly low
The minimum tax is about five percent.
God knows
The price of iPhone 5s in Iraq at the first descent of $ 1300 16g is golden color, and currently its price in most provinces of Iraq is $ 800 16g
I had to pay 987 riyals, about $ XNUMX, for a XNUMX capacity, because it is golden in color, and it also has FaceTime from one of the regular stores. The price for calls is much lower than this amount, but there is no FaceTime in it, which prevents me from buying it. From my side, FaceTime is necessary for the iPhone, and I cannot imagine an iPhone without this service
Mfg
The price of the iPhone is exaggerated compared to its specifications, as there are many devices in the market that have higher specifications, a stronger guarantee, and a lower price.
In Saudi Arabia, the white iPhone 5s
32G…. 3300 Riyal
And in the shops that sell it a hundred or a hundred and fifty cheaper
The price of the iPhone 5s 16gb in Iraq is $700
We buy from the UAE and go to sell in Turkey
Advice for the sake of God. Do not buy the iPhone except from your country with a local warranty, regardless of the price. I bought it from the online store in the UAE at a high price of $ XNUMX, and when he went to Egypt through a friend, he worked for only two hours and then died completely. And when I went to the Apple Center in Egypt, they told me that he had a problem in the board. Their way. And now, I am desperate for the phone and I am deeply regretted. I mean, if I had paid $ XNUMX more, I would have bought it with a local guarantee for a year and rested my brain, and the one who pays XNUMX pays XNUMX is not a story 😪😪😪
Dear brother
I used you to precision
Please review published rates
In America, $ 649
And the Netherlands
€699
This is for a capacity of XNUMX C.
شكرا
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
thanks for the information
I am a resident of Qatar. I bought the iPhone 5s in the first month of Dhul-Hijjah XNUMX AH for XNUMX Qatari riyals (XNUMX GB - white color).
And I see the price too overrated
At that time, they were selling the gold iPhone 5s for more than XNUMX riyals
Frankly, prices in Qatar are fiction
A report is more than wonderful, but my dear brother, there is a price correction in America of $ 707 including taxes, but not in all states. Five few states have a price of $ 650, meaning that there are no taxes ....
Thank you
The price of the iPhone XNUMXS in Jordan, a XNUMX GB version, is about XNUMX dollars !!
Wonderful report
thank you
Is it really, if I bought a device from the UAE, it wouldn't have FaceTime !!?
please reply.
Yes, FaceTime is blocked in the UAE and most of the Gulf countries
FaceTime will appear if you are in Egypt, but if you are in the UAE or Saudi Arabia, the FaceTime box will not appear in your device unless you bought an iPhone and it has the FaceTime feature open in all countries
Note: Do not buy it from Apple's website in the UAE or mobile companies in the UAE, but buy it from merchants who imported the device for their account from America or England and sold it in their stores only!
I bought it from America through a friend and it arrived to me via shipping
With a total value of $ XNUMX
64GB capacity
In Syria, the price of a XNUMX gigabyte copy is $ XNUMX
In Morocco the black market is $ 600
Why Bahrain does not exist
In cable price 32GB 1000$
In Canada the prices are respectively XNUMX - XNUMX - XNUMX
$ XNUMX-XNUMX-XNUMX
Add the XNUMX% tax, so the prices will be:

If you allow my brothers, iPhone Islam!
How to change the trend on Twitter for a global trend :(
The main reason is customs
Our price in Algeria is very expensive, reaching 1100 dollars for the 16 GB version, and the highest price is 1500 for the 64 GB version, which constitutes 300% of the citizen's monthly income
Note: Carriers do not provide any Apple devices, only Samsung and LG
The price of the iPhone 5s reached $1350 in Lebanon, and this was the price of the gold color, which reaches $1600 if it is 64 GB...
Yes, the 5-capacity gold iPhone XNUMXs was bought for $ XNUMX, and the remaining colors are $ XNUMX, meaning an increase in the color difference of $ XNUMX. God bless
From Saudi Arabia, take it for XNUMX Saudi riyals, a gold color, capacity of XNUMX
Very useful article
The price in Egypt is mostly 6500 EGP
The prices are ok in Saudi Arabia, but what drives me to buy from abroad is the lack of a FaceTime feature on the iPhone in the Saudi market.
The comparison is unfair because in the UAE the FaceTime feature is not present on the devices, which makes them less devices in terms of value compared to devices from America, and I do not know if in Saudi Arabia the same problem exists
I don't think I'll buy it from the Emirates, but honestly, its hair is expensive in the Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
Peace be upon you, Yvonne Islam. I have a question. What are the states in which the price is $ XNUMX. Please reply
IPhone 5s prices
In Saudi Arabia, telecom companies are on the next erasure
stc
16GB: 2699, 32GB: 3199, 64GB: 3649
mobile
16GB: 2799, 32GB: 3199, 64GB: 3649
zayn
16GB: 2799, 32GB: 3199, 64GB: 3649
These prices are without contracts
But these companies have miraculous conditions that it is necessary to take the chip even if it is prepaid or add a contract to your number on one of these companies
All this and the absence of the golden color, which is the most wanted color in the market
And if it is available in very few quantities, in a week, XNUMX devices come in a golden color
I bought an iPhone 5a 16GB from the USA without a tax inclusive contract.
At $ XNUMX, that is, exactly XNUMX riyals, less than the prices of telecommunications companies
As for the outside stores, knowing that the telecom companies do not have the golden color and the device because of the high demand for it, so they raised the prices.
Up to 16GB to XNUMX riyals, and now the reduction to XNUMX riyals
Mad prices and greed of merchants
I bought it from the UAE store for 3000 dirhams, 32 gigabytes, and it arrived within four days
May God protect the Emirates, a wonderful country
Japan is cheaper and close to America, and in companies that offer XNUMX GB free of charge with a two-year subscription contract, only internet fees
I bought an iphone 5s XNUMXGB, XNUMX $ from Japan
The price in America for 16 GB is 4550 EGP, it is sold in Vodafone at 6666 EGP
The 32 GB is 5250 EGP in America ... and in Vodafone Egypt, it costs 7555 EGP
As for the 64 GB in America, it costs 5900 EGP ... and in Vodafone Egypt, it costs 8555, and of course it is not available
Medicine, I mean, this simple comparison lets me think a million times before I buy from Egypt, because the basic prices are cheaper than here. I mean, I prefer to get 64 GB from Libra, better than 16 GB from Vodafone ... Not that or what?
The price in Kuwait announced for you is wrong
In Kuwait, equivalent to XNUMX dollars currently
Peace be upon you. Thank you for your efforts, but I have a note. I wish you would change the name of the iFor Islam app to iXNUMX Apple
What do you mean by FaceTime
I bought the iPhone 5S at a price of $ 952 from the 32GB Jarir Bookstore.
Here in Spain, its price reaches 963,15 dollars, equivalent to 699 euros
This is too much for the average person’s income here, with this stifling crisis
The frankness of the report is more than wonderful and only Yvon Aslam can do it
We have 2500 Brazilian reals in Brazil, which is approximately one thousand and two hundred dollars, but I note that Brazil paid this price over twelve months of what the buyer pays in a year without usurious interest.
As for us in Yemen, I do not know that it has arrived or not.
And thank you, Yvonne Islam, for bringing up these prices
On the head of Jordan !!! We are in the first list with high prices !!!!!!
Sorry, the 64 GB is out of stock at its official price with taxes, and that is only because of the FaceTime feature, as all devices sold in the Gulf do not have FaceTime even after upgrading.
What about Egypt with regard to the price of the device compared to the average individual income? !!
Why are they in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?

Mad prices and greed of merchants
I advise people to learn how to buy from abroad to avoid the greed and greed of merchants
What is the best site in the net to buy phones?
Oh man, China is the source. Our people buy different goods from them and sell them to us at ten times the value or more.../// And you come to say that their iPhone is more expensive than ours//. The important thing is that most countries have taxes, but in the Gulf these taxes do not exist// A merchant who bears taxes cannot be compared to a merchant whose country gives him a discount and subsidizes some goods
The price of a 16GB iPhone in Iraq is $ 800 and 950GB is $ 150, meaning $ XNUMX more than the original price for each capacity
In India is $ 825 ... at the cheapest bid while it is the most expensive in Flipkart
In Saudi Arabia, its price is XNUMX dollars, a copy of the XNUMX gig without a contract
Some stores even sold a number of it for less than $ XNUMX
I got the golden iPhone, in Jordan, for XNUMX dinars, with a capacity of XNUMX gb, or about $ XNUMX
In Libya, the price of iPhone 5s 32G.
$800.00
In Kuwait today, XNUMX dinars, equivalent to $ XNUMX
Price XNUMX
The price is considered suitable for the 5S
But when you look at 5c
You find the price is very overrated
Price is XNUMX
Expected to be at XNUMX or less
While 5 is sticking to its price and that's not good for it.
Which is XNUMX
Only need is giving each issue its due
In order to win the target users
In Baghdad, its price is $ 740, a capacity of 16 GB
Wonderful article
But for the flag of the UAE, it has closed FaceTime in its devices
I do not advise anyone to buy from the UAE
Its price is excellent in Bahrain as well, but it is not everywhere
In iMachines, the price of the XNUMXnd version means a very small increase
Approximately 307 or 310 dinars maximum
And you, myself, I took it with a contract from FIFA, and this is the best thing
