Usually, the hardware usually costs 30-40% more in India than the advertised price in the US.
- suyash 6y agosubscription is a competitive business with less differentiation than hardware. It also scales well without increasing cost linearly so $5 for Indian customers makes sense
- newscracker 6y agoSome regions have had lower pricing even before this. Apple Arcade alone has always been about $1.3 per month in India, for example. The higher hardware pricing is mainly because Apple doesn’t give up much on its margins and because the import tariffs are high. The latter should go away for some products that are being made locally there though.
- tinus_hn 6y agoI don’t know how it works in India but in many countries the price displayed includes VAT which it does not in the US. This can easily be a 20% difference.
