India vs USA: prices by iPhone model
Each row uses that model’s smallest recorded storage option, shown beside its name, across available colours. Recorded prices remain visible with their tax and freshness labels. A difference is shown only when both prices include tax and both observations and exchange rates were checked within 48 hours; expired and regular list prices do not qualify. Differences exclude payment fees, travel and import costs. Compare another storage option.

Is buying abroad worth it?
There is no single cheapest country to buy every iPhone. The answer depends on the exact model, storage, date and tax treatment. We rank recent tax-inclusive listings separately from prices before local sales tax, regular list prices and dated observations. Coverage varies by configuration; this is not a claim to cover every store or every country.
Compare the cost you will actually pay
Use the product calculator to include payment fees, checkout tax, any refund you qualify for and import costs. Travel can outweigh the listed saving. No tourist refund or duty-free allowance is assumed automatically.
Check the regional device before you buy
Storage alone does not establish identical hardware. Confirm the regional model number, physical SIM or eSIM support, carrier compatibility and service eligibility with Apple. Follow the original source for the current offer and stock status.
Why the US iPhone price needs a sales-tax check
Apple calculates US sales tax using the shipping address or the Apple Store pickup location. A US price marked “Before local sales tax” is not the final checkout total. We retain that recorded USD price and its rupee conversion, but withhold a tax-inclusive saving against India.
Open the product calculator and enter the applicable checkout tax for your purchase location. Also check that the offer is the full device price and whether it requires carrier activation. Currency conversion alone does not establish the total cost of buying in the USA.
