The price of an iPhone varies by model, country, and storage options. For the latest models in 2025:
- In the United States, the base iPhone 16 model starts around $799 to $900 including taxes depending on the state.
- In other countries, such as Mexico, Brazil, and South America, iPhone prices can be significantly higher due to taxes, import duties, and supply chain factors, sometimes reaching over $1,000 USD or more.
- In South Africa, iPhone 16 models range from around R14,499 (about $900 USD) for the iPhone 16e to R30,499 for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
- Official prices from Apple in various countries show that the iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1TB storage can range from about $1,850 in UAE to over $3,200 in Turkey.
- U.S. carrier deals, such as from AT&T, can offer installment plans with prices starting at around $6 per month for the iPhone 16e with unlimited plans.
Thus, the cost depends heavily on the exact model, configuration, and location of purchase, but a new iPhone 16 in the U.S. generally starts below $1,000, and prices can be higher internationally. If interested, the price for older models or other variants can vary widely in different markets and retail options.
