The iPhone 17 Pro 256GB is significantly more expensive in some countries than others, largely due to import duties, taxes and local market conditions.

Brazil follows at $2,260, while Egypt ranks third at $1,872. Hungary, Norway, Mexico, Sweden, Poland, Czechia and Finland complete the top 10, with prices ranging from $1,578 to $1,826.
