India vs UAE: prices by iPhone model
Each row uses that model’s smallest recorded storage option, shown beside its name, across available colours. Recorded prices remain visible with their tax and freshness labels. A difference is shown only when both prices include tax and both observations and exchange rates were checked within 48 hours; expired and regular list prices do not qualify. Differences exclude payment fees, travel and import costs. Compare another storage option.

Is buying abroad worth it?
There is no single cheapest country to buy every iPhone. The answer depends on the exact model, storage, date and tax treatment. We rank recent tax-inclusive listings separately from prices before local sales tax, regular list prices and dated observations. Coverage varies by configuration; this is not a claim to cover every store or every country.
Compare the cost you will actually pay
Use the product calculator to include payment fees, checkout tax, any refund you qualify for and import costs. Travel can outweigh the listed saving. No tourist refund or duty-free allowance is assumed automatically.
Check the regional device before you buy
Storage alone does not establish identical hardware. Confirm the regional model number, physical SIM or eSIM support, carrier compatibility and service eligibility with Apple. Follow the original source for the current offer and stock status.
Are Dubai iPhone prices the same as UAE prices?
This comparison uses Apple’s UAE country-store prices in AED. A Dubai retailer promotion, airport offer or store’s stock may differ. The rupee conversion uses our displayed exchange rate; your bank can apply a different rate or charge a conversion fee.
Keep the tax basis shown beside each observation when comparing with India. Any tourist refund depends on your purchase and eligibility; no refund is deducted from these prices.
