Mobile Unlocked has compiled a list of iPhone 5S prices from around the world. The collection is based on the 16GB unlocked variant, “with all prices coming directly from the local Apple stores for each country or a listed official supplier from the Apple site that were available on November 18th, 2013,” tax included.

This makes the PH price tag the 11th cheapest in the world, with the US taking the top spot at $707.41 (Php31,000), followed by the UAE ($707.56) and Hong Kong ($720.76).

Based on yugatech’s source, the website actually says the Philippines priced the iPhone 5S the 4th most expensive in the world based on GDP per capita. Ooooopssss! Who’s fooling who?

Para sa isang 3rd world country kagaya ng Pilipinas, sobrang mahal na talaga nyan para sa telepono. Tsaka parang mas mura pa nga sa Hungary, Romania, Turkey e, mas mataas ang value ng euro kesa sa US dollar.

Hindi niyo kasi finactor in ang purchasing power (PPP). Syempre mukhang mahal/mura yan kapag kinonvert directly yung currencies. Pero dapat intindihin na magkaiba ang cost of living sa mga bansang yan.

ubod ka talaga ng katangahan. paano magiging 40k+ pesos sa ibang bansa e euro ang pera dun, mas mataas ang value nun kaysa sa dollar. kaya pag kinompute mo, hindi din aabot ng 40k intiendes?

please buy these products here sa Pinas. if manufacturers see na malakas ang benta locally ng mga products, they’ll release them earlier here next time and no need to make pabilin abroad.

Even the consumers want to buy can’t because of overpriced compare to other countries.
2nd grey market offers ahead of time compare to local telcos.

If you have an opportunity to buy abroad, better. I believe Apple’s warranty is international so you don’t have to worry about repairs here in the Phils.
