iPhone X is going to be put on sale in several new countries during the next month, and among them is Brazil, a country with a lot of fans Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and a factory where Apple phones are assembled. Despite the fact that Apple products are very popular in the country, it seems that the new phone model will be sold at a huge price there.
We are talking about a price of 2150 dollars for the iPhone X in Brazil and this will be the official selling price for the phone at the American company itself. So Brazilians will pay twice as much as Americans for the new phone model, and this is to show that it can be worse than in Europe, where the cost is almost 2 dollars higher.
The reason why the iPhone X is so expensive in Brazil lies in the fact that local legislation imposes a 60% tax on imported products whose value does not exceed 3000 dollars. iPhone X falls into this category so, just like the other models, it will be sold at an extremely high price in the country for customers.
Although Foxconn has a factory in Brazil where it assembles iPhone phones, we are talking about older models, which are sold in the country without that import tax. Until the iPhone X is assembled in China, which could take even 1 year, the selling price of the phone will be huge, but considering how many drug traffickers there are, it's not hard to believe that it will be bought by many people.
