If the only thing on your mind is grabbing the freshly released Apple iPhone 13, then consider yourself really unlucky if you have to purchase one from Brazil. As it stands, the cost of the iPhone 13 in the South American country is the highest in the world.
A report by Nukeni (via: 9to5Mac) shows the sale prices of the unlocked iPhone 13 on the Apple Website of each country, including taxes of course. Other models are listed as well, but picking on the iPhone 13 alone would be a good enough indicator for the prices.
There are exceptions, however, depending on the model or the storage variant. For example, the 128GB storage variant of the iPhone 13 mini is actually the most expensive in Turkey at a hefty $1,301.56. Brazil fares slightly better with this particular variant, with a price tag of $1,256.21. There are a few other models and variants as well where Brazil outdoes Turkey, but a majority of them are still the priciest in Brazil.
With that in mind, feel free to have a look at the top 3 best and worst places to grab a 128GB iPhone 13 series model from:
iPhone 13 mini (128GB)

- Turkey: $1,301.56

It is worth noting here that some US states like Delaware do not charge any taxes, and this might be one of the main reasons why the US is the cheapest option. Nukeni knows of this and has thus listed two prices for regions like the US and Canada – one from the most expensive state/province and another from the least.
Thus, it is observed that when the cheapest iPhone offering in the US is kicked from the equation, regions like Hong Kong and Japan emerge as the true cheapest options.
In conclusion, an iPhone 13 purchase from countries like the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, and Canada is the least likely to blow a hole in your wallet. Weaker currencies or high taxes, on the other hand, have a major role in making Brazil, Turkey, Sweden, Hungary, and Italy the most expensive places to grab an iPhone 13 series model from in the world.
