Apple has finally launched the iPhone 18 Pro series alongside its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo. Unfortunately, the ongoing RAM crisis has pushed smartphone prices higher, and the iPhone 18 Pro's launch price has increased by ₹30,000.

Some models now cost more than a standard Royal Enfield Meteor 350 motorcycle. So, if you are a motor enthusiast who also loves technology, this could be a painful launch. With prices varying significantly across markets, knowing where each model is cheaper could make a real difference.

To make comparisons easier, we have listed the prices of every iPhone model and storage variant across major markets. This will help you compare prices across countries and find where you can get each model at the lowest price. Read on to find the best-priced iPhone in each market.

US

The birthplace of the iPhone, the US is also the cheapest market for any iPhone 18 Pro series or iPhone Duo model. Across storage variants, buyers pay considerably less than in other major markets, making the US the most attractive place to buy Apple’s latest iPhones.

Italy presents an interesting contrast: the iPhone 18 Pro series is more expensive than in India, whereas the iPhone Duo is cheaper. This makes Italy a particularly unusual market in the overall pricing comparison.

India

India ranks last in the overall price comparison, making it the most expensive market among those covered.
