People from EU complaining that iPhones way more expensive in EU...
Why is Apple charging so much more in EU?
THEY ARE NOT!
New iPhone 16e in the US is $599
New iPhone in Germany is 699EUR.
remove German VAT tax (19%) -> 587 EUR
convert to USD -> $613
It's a $14 difference!
EU has crazy taxes that's why you're paying more!
