Why does the iPhone Duo cost different amounts across countries?

Several factors contribute to the price differences between markets.

• Taxes and import duties: Local tax structures and import-related charges can increase the final retail price of a smartphone. The impact varies across countries.
• Currency movements: Exchange rates influence how local prices translate into US dollars. Changes in currency values can alter a country's position in a global price ranking.
• Regional pricing strategies: Apple determines retail prices for individual markets, taking local commercial conditions into account.
• Competition: In markets such as China, domestic smartphone manufacturers have established foldable-device offerings. Competition can influence how premium devices are positioned in the market.
