Why are iPhones more expensive in Singapore than in the U.S.?

iPhones cost more in Singapore than in the U.S. owing to a few factors, such as the currency exchange rate.

The basic iPhone 17 in the U.S. costs US$799 (S$1,025) before taxes.

Taxes differ depending on the state.

At check-out, they can cost more.

In Singapore, the same phone is retailing for S$1,299, as listed on the Apple store.

The Singapore price includes the 9 per cent goods and services tax (GST), as well as related import duties.

However, it is unclear if the recent tariff announcements have affected Apple's supply chain costs.
