- saagarjha 8y ago> Apple costs 1.5k dollars If you buy the XS Max with 512 GB of storage, unlocked (which happens to be $1,449.00, by the way). iPhone XS starts at $999.

- saagarjha 8y agoFirst of all, you're quoting prices in China, which means that iPhone has significant taxes tacked on to it. Second, iPhone seems to be $1269, while the Huawei phone is $977.
- tanilama 8y agoiPhone is 256GB version vs Huawei's 128GB version. Huawei P20 comes with only one storage tier which is 128GB. So I chooses the middle tier to represent iPhone.
- CathayRe 8y agoYou forgot those Apple listed prices are US only and never included any Sales Tax. In reality everywhere on the planet are paying $100 to $200 more on top of those prices. In the case of China has both Import, and Sales Tax. ( It works more like VAT though ), it adds up to around $300 on top of $999, closer to $1299. Edit: Yes in case Apple is ridiculously expensive in many part of the world.
