The funny thing is that Apple sells those locally made products for about the same price they sold the imported (taxed) ones.

- seanmcdirmid 14y agoI didn't think Apple sold iPhones in Brazil before they started building them there; are you sure you aren't referring to gray market imports? If so, there is probably some amount of tax avoidance going on. Doesn't Brazil have a high VAT?
- kawera 14y agoApple definitively sold iPhones in Brazil before building them here, as they did with the iPad. VAT varies slightly from state to state, mostly in the 20-22% range.
- malandrew 14y agoIt's due to cost rebalancing across the entire line of Apple products, including those that are imported.
