I’m based in the U.S. but was wondering whether buying a MBP in Australia, as an example, would be cheaper since the USD is stronger than the AUS.
Apple Tax is high when taking into account currency conversions, especially when factoring shipping back to the US some products you’d be paying close to double. It’s the case where foreigners will try to buy Apple products when visiting the US to save the money.
UAE is pretty cheap, don’t know if it’s less than the US though
Malaysia, but only if you buy it offline
If you’re based in Malaysia and are able to see prices there, how much is a M3 MBP without the upgrades?
M3 MBP 8core, 8gb/512gb retails for RM7499 (USD 1612). It may be cheaper for now, but we’ll be rolling out a new ‘luxury goods tax’ sometime next year. They’ve yet to announce but we’ve been told it’ll be between 5-10%
Apple will not sell cheaper products outside of US. I paid 1300 USD for the m2 air here in india
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. You obviously haven’t seen the prices in Australia. Nothing is cheaper there, and that’s before paying to have it shipped over and the import duties.
Delaware or Oregon. No sales tax.
The UK and US are pretty much matched from what I’ve seen, when the exchange rate isn’t ridiculous of course
Euro is stronger than dollar and MacBooks here are more expensive
Not Brazil
Many countries don’t have official Apple stores. The 3rd party sellers will always mark up the prices for profit alongside adding import taxes
Here in Thailand 14" MacBook Pro is starting from 1699 USD (M3) and 2269 USD (M3 Pro), tax included.
But Malaysia probably cheaper.
I know Japan is really cheap. Depending on what state you’re buying in I’d say it’s probably even cheaper than most US states when sales tax is added.
not Europe for sure
If you think Europe is bad, don’t look at the prices in Brazil.
Greece has the lowest Apple prices in EU
For a EU citizen, iirc its cheaper to fly to the US, buy an apple product, get a b&b for the night and fly back. Than straight up buying it here
US is way way cheaper for everything tech related.
