IPhone 16e Costs Over Rs 1 Lakh in Turkey, But Is Cheapest in the US
If you thought iPhones were expensive in India, Turkish buyers are in for a bigger shock! The iPhone 16e, marketed as an “affordable” model by Apple, is far from affordable in Turkey. The base 128GB version is priced at ₺47,999 (approximately Rs 1,09,000), over twice the country’s monthly minimum wage.
- This price disparity highlights the growing gap between global and local markets, where consumer pricing strategies can be driven more by regional demand than by regional costs.
- What role do trade policies and tariffs play in influencing iPhone prices across different countries, particularly in emerging markets like Turkey?
