The price of Apple’s flagship smartphones can vary sharply depending on where they are purchased, despite the company selling the same iPhone models across markets.
For the iPhone 17 Pro with 256GB of storage, the difference is particularly striking. While the device is relatively affordable in some markets, buyers in other countries can pay hundreds of dollars more because of taxes, import duties, currency fluctuations and local regulations.
Data compiled by Deutsche Bank and presented in its 2026 comparison of global prices shows Türkiye as the most expensive market among the 41 countries examined.
The iPhone 17 Pro 256GB costs $2,592 in Türkiye, compared with $1,181 in the United States. That means buyers in Türkiye pay more than twice the U.S. price.
Here are the 10 countries where the iPhone 17 Pro 256GB is most expensive in the comparison.
