Apple officially released the new iPhone 12 series on October 14. Among them, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro have been released on October 23; and the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max have already been released in November. Pre-orders will start at 9pm on the 6th and will be on sale on November 13.
Foreign media 9to5 Mac reported that although the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max began pre-sales last Friday, Apple also announced that its full line of 2020 iPhone 12 products will enter more countries and regions on November 20, including Brazil. Although this may sound irrelevant, Brazil will once again have the most expensive iPhone in the world so far-but it may lose its number one position in the next few weeks.
Pre-sales of the iPhone 12 will begin in Brazil on November 13, one week before the phone arrives in stores. Apple has revealed local prices, and for Brazilians, these prices are not very exciting.
Not only that, the Brazilian website Tecnoblog found that, compared with other regions where Apple’s latest smartphones are already on the market, Brazil has the most expensive iPhone 12 series in the world.
Customers who plan to purchase a 64GB iPhone 12 mini in Brazil need to pay 6,999 reais, which is equivalent to 1,270 US dollars. Italy’s ranking is close behind, the same model, but the price is much lower at 839 euros, equivalent to 996 US dollars. In the United States, if the full price is taken into account, the starting price of the iPhone 12 mini is $729.
If you compare the price of the 512GB iPhone 12 Pro Max, the difference is even more obvious. Brazil once again has the most expensive price of this type of mobile phone. The price of the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is 13,999 reals-equivalent to 2,535 US dollars. However, this time the same phone in India ranked second, with a price of 159,900 Indian rupees, or US$2,159. In the United States, the most expensive iPhone 12 Pro Max model costs $1,399.

Naijatechnews was informed that it is worth mentioning that Brazil may soon lose its top position because the iPhone 12 has not yet been launched in Argentina, and the price in Argentina is generally higher. Apple did not discuss how they set prices around the world, but their prices will vary according to the tax and currency of each country and region.
For example, in Brazil and India, the government imposes high taxes on equipment produced outside the country. Apple has been assembling iPhones in these two countries and regions to obtain certain tax incentives, but even so, in addition to import fees, there are other high taxes that affect the prices of these products.
The local currencies of these countries and regions also have a great impact on the prices of iPhones and other products, because Apple needs to set higher prices to ensure that they will not incur any losses due to constant currency fluctuations, which is extremely common in Brazil thing.
