You have the extra year protection, but you are (forcibly) paying for it.
iPhone 13 Pro USA price: 999$
iPhone 13 Pro Italy price: 1250$
PS: In the US, you could probably get that extra year of warranty from Apple or from a third party (for like 20$). But you don't have to.
- peoplefromibiza 4y ago> You have the extra year protection, but you are paying for it. which anyone understands that is not the same thing. You can also buy 2 of the same items for redundancy, I wouldn't call it "warranty" though. > iPhone 13 Pro USA price: 999$ > iPhone 13 Pro Italy price: 1250$ The price on Apple's U.S. online store website is before taxes But anyway that's a completely meaningless comparison: Parmigiano Reggiano in Italy Euro ~10 / Kg Parmigiano Reggiano in USA $ ~20 / pound AKA $ 44.4 / Kg
- olalonde 4y agoOf course the price premium is not exclusively due to the warranty (probably a good chunk of it is due to import tarifs and taxes). But do we agree that increasing the warranty period costs Apple more? Do we not agree that a business will tend to increase the price of its product when the cost of its product increases?
- peoplefromibiza 4y ago> Do we agree that increasing the warranty period costs Apple more? I don't. On the contrary, I believe they should thank us for encouraging them to make better and more durable products. If I am spending 12 hundred euros on an electronic device, the least the manufacturer can do is give me the warranty that it won't break on its own before 2 years of usage. Anyway, Xiaomi makes perfectly valid products at 1/3 of Apple prices. Maybe it's not the 2-year warranty the issue here...
