By Ochereome Ikenna

According to recent statistics, there are countries where iPhones are the most affordable. In this list, we will be specifically addressing the iPhone 16 (base model, 128 GB).

1) China
The cheapest place in the world to buy the iPhone 16 is China. iPhones are cheap in China because many of them are assembled locally, so Apple saves on logistics, shipping, and import costs, allowing for lower pricing.

2) Japan
Japan is also a great place to buy a cheap iPhone 16. iPhones are often cheaper in Southeast Asian nations, as seen with the first two countries on this list.

3) United States
iPhones are cheaper in the US because there are no import taxes, prices are shown before tax, and Apple sells directly without extra markups.

4) Hong Kong
The iPhone 16 is cheap in Hong Kong because it has no sales tax or VAT, low import duties, and Apple prices its products competitively to attract international shoppers.

5) Thailand
Thailand offers another affordable option for purchasing the iPhone 16, making it yet another Asian country where Apple products are well-priced.

6) Malaysia
Several factors contribute to the lower price of iPhones in Malaysia: favourable exchange rates, low import duties and taxes, and strong competition among retailers, which can drive prices down.

7) UAE
iPhones are cheaper in the UAE because there is no VAT for tourists, low import taxes, and Apple keeps prices competitive to attract both local and international buyers.

8) Taiwan
One unique reason iPhones are cheap in Taiwan is that many Apple parts are made locally, so lower supply chain and shipping costs help reduce the overall price.

9) South Korea
One distinctive reason iPhones are cheaper in South Korea is due to strong competition from local brands like Samsung, which pushes Apple to offer more competitive pricing.

10) Australia
Australia is also a good place to find affordable iPhones.
