It’s actually cheaper to take a 9 hour flight in business class from Rio de Janeiro to Miami and buy an iPhone 13 than to buy it in Brazil.

United Airlines Polaris business class


Apple products are expensive; they always have been and always will be. Depending on where you live, the prices vary, but it is safe to say even the cheapest iPhone 13 is considered expensive for an ordinary man. Imagine the predicament of Apple iPhone lovers in Brazil who have to pay several times more for the same device. According to Google Flights, a round trip on Azul and United Airlines in business class from Rio De Janeiro to Miami costs $1300. At the risk of sounding like an exaggerator, this price is literally half of what it would be to purchase the latest iPhone 13 in Brazil.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max

Let it be known those of you who need that new and shiny iPhone 13 Pro Max with 1TB of storage will pay $1,599 in the United States or up to $2,950.45 in Brazil. In fact, you could take a round trip, buy the new model and still save some money in other parts of the United States. Thanks to higher taxes and bad currency, Brazil nearly consistently ranks among the most expensive states to buy an iPhone 13. According to 9to5mac, a report led by Nukeni and shows all the sales prices, including taxes of the SIM-free iPhone 13 on the Apple website for each country.
