How much does the "iPhone 6" cost in America? IPhone 6: price overview

Apple has an excellent ability to turn the output of each of its gadgets into a real sensation in the mobile market. The evidence is universal attention, which was riveted exclusively to the model of the iPhone 6, released in the fall of 2014. The whole world literally froze in anticipation of this smartphone, which can not be observed on such a scale, for example, with the release of the new Samsung S6 or any other device. This ability and provides multi-million sale of each new iPhone.

Sales of iPhone 6

After the release of the new version of the smartphone from Apple, its sales, of course, began all over the world. This happened unevenly: first, the Apple Store took orders exclusively in the most developed countries - the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan; Further "wave" of sales was going on in Europe, Asia and started in our country. Some owners of the phone "iPhone 6" was in the hands before Russian stores began selling it through friends and acquaintances who came from the States. This is not surprising: people who are able to buy such an expensive device, as a rule, have the opportunity to visit another country in such a short time and simultaneously "buy" a couple of additional gadgets to present them as a gift here in their homeland.

Sales in Russia

As you know, Apple has a Russian branch of its store. Of course, it was here that the "iPhone 6" phone was first sold. At the time of the release of the device (September 2014), the cost of the most budgetary equipment was about 33 thousand rubles. If you pay attention to prices now, then the phone with a memory capacity of 16 GB and a screen of 4.7 inches will cost about 49 thousand rubles (about $ 900). At the same time, the most expensive equipment (model 6 Plus) with a memory capacity of 128 GB will cost 70 thousand rubles (about 1300 dollars).

Cost on the official website

There is an opinion that buying Apple products in its homeland - in the US - is more profitable. There are several reasons for this:

• First, a more developed market for electronic products and, accordingly, a high competition among manufacturers;
• Secondly, the more developed pricing system and the market of mobile operators in general.

In connection with the last point I would like to note the contractual form of interaction between the user and the seller of the mobile device, according to which the cost of the phone is invested in the price of the contract signed with the operator. Thus, a person actually gets two years of free communication in return for buying an iPhone 6.

Finally, it should be said about the "locality" of the market for Apple. Despite the fact that the products are produced in China, in the US the company is still considered a national producer.

All these and other factors led to the fact that the price is much cheaper there for sale "iPhone" 6. The price in America, posted on the official website of the company, can hit - it is 649 dollars for the cheapest model and 949 - for the most expensive. And this is without taking into account the purchase under the contract, within which the cost of the phone reaches and at all 199 dollars.

Cost in online stores

Here is the answer to the question about how much "American iPhone 6" costs in America. The price is clearly lower: the difference is approximately $ 250 in the cost of the budget model and 350 is the most expensive version. Obviously, domestic dealers, who conduct business in buying phones in the States and selling in Russia, this situation is very beneficial, because the difference in cost allows you to set it at a lower level, without giving up any minimum profit.

And let's see for the sake of interest, how much is in America "iPhone 6", if you buy through online shops. Let's go to the world's largest online store "Amazon" and find this model there. On the price list in the catalog - 619 dollars for the cheapest model. The same situation on eBay.com: suppliers put the price at the level of 625 dollars, which is also obviously cheaper than ours.

Chinese suppliers

Let's turn to online shopping from another area of the globe. Let's go to the famous Aliexpress.com, where Chinese sellers also offer the newest phones from Apple. Note: if we are going to look for the Chinese "iPhone 6", then we mean not a cheap copy working on Android, but an original device designed for the Chinese market.

Here there are a large number of sellers who set very different prices. However, the cheapest we managed to find is 48 thousand rubles (about $ 890) for the base version of the model 6 by 16 GB. So, unfortunately, I did not find a cheap Chinese iPhone here. Its price is absolutely identical to the cost indicated on the official website of Apple in Russia. And this, as you know, is not a copy. "IPhone 6" here offer the original.

If we talk about fake iPhone, it will cost much less - from 10 to 15-17 thousand rubles, depending on the functionality and build quality. But do you need it? Is it not easier to purchase a normal smartphone from another manufacturer for this money?

How to buy cheaper?

Thus, having analyzed what is the price in "American iPhone 6" in America, we can make an obvious conclusion about where it is more profitable to buy. However, this does not mean that you need to run a ticket to the States and fly to personally get to the Appstore and pick up your iPhone 6. If you count how much you spend on the flight, all the benefits of ordering a phone in the US is lost.
