Iphone is very expensive in australia

Does any body know why is iphone very expensive in australia than in US. In US 32 GB iphone cost only 335 australian dollar but for same iphone it cost AU$1040 in australia. I am little bit curious about that so, if someone know about that please reply me.
thanks

This is a user-to-user tech support forum, so no one here can speak for Apple. However, there are several reasons why prices differ.
1. The US price you quoted is a carrier subsidized price which requires a 2 year contract with AT&T including an unlimited data plan. The same phone without the contract is $700 (USD).
2. VAT is not included in the US price. US sales taxes are added to the quoted price on sale
3. The cost of providing foreign (outside USA) warranty and support is factored in

  • I was wondering if anybody can tell me why the new Apple iPhone 5 is $600 AUD/US more expensive in Australia than the US??? Please explain somebody?

    I was wondering if anybody can tell me why the Apple IPhone 5  is $600 US/AUD more expensive in Australia than in the US!
    thanks

    Thanks for the reply - I still know that this issue is also relevant for so many other apple products which don't involve cellular providers.... I think Australians are tired of paying so much more for things than in the US and other countries.  It used to be explained by the poor Australian dollar but that doesnt exactly work when we are over parity with the US dollar and have been for a while now....

  • My very expensive 2010 MacBook Pro hard drive died over a year ago (never bothered to fix it as the dvd drive had also failed so not worth it).   Nevertheless, I finally decided to sync my iPhone to the replacement laptop pc and it wiped out all the music

    My very expensive 2010 MacBook Pro hard drive died over a year ago. I finally synced my iPhone to the replacement laptop pc and it wiped out all the music on the phone including most of the purchases. Can I get the music back (restore didn't help)?

    Okay, I finally got the couple of songs left on the phone to play by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes on the pc and re syncing. The last version I installed (just prior to my original post) failed to start due to some unspecified error?!?. Great!. But I still couldn't sync the itunes purchases from the PC to the iPhone. Then, after about an hour of googling and reading assorted posts mostly about using google to resolve the issue, I finally figured out that I have to actually download ALL the purchased albums from iCloud back onto the iPhone! There are hundreds of them, and some are not even available anymore.
    Why do I have to do that when I originally purchased and downloaded all the music to the phone? Why are they all on the PC to begin with and why won't they go to the phone via the USB cable? Why didn't all the music get wiped out on the phone when I synced with the dodgy itunes I had to uninstall. never mind.
    I accept that all my original music from cds and shared collections is gone on the failed mbp hard drive, but how come this once okay experience has become a trauma? Hundreds of songs to download all over again, sheesh, this has not exactlybeen a "That Was Easy" experience guys.

  • Ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s   very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

    ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s + very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

    Welcome, sorry to hear your news, there are numerous threads on this issue. Try the trouble shooting on the other threads, I do not recommend sticking it in the freezer or heating with a hair dryer though,
    If it's within warranty and trouble shooting doesn't work, get it. Ack to apple ASAP and get it replaced.
    Many others are in the same position, who also have a 4s
    Good luck

  • I installed a new SSD drive in my computer and now Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium says I don't have a license. I have license. It was very expensive. I am disabled now, and I need this software working.

    I installed a new SSD drive in my computer and now Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium says I don't have a license. I have license. It was very expensive. I am disabled now, and I need this software working. Adobe Acrobat has been a primary tool for accommodating memory problems after a brain injury. (A car ran me down while I was out getting exercise.) I installed the SSD because I needed my management of PDF files to run faster. I called tech support for help when the software first stopped working, but they needed me to give them a number from my original disks. Because of my disability, I've been having someone come in to clean, and the shelves where I kept my software packages were cleared. I've been hunting for them ever since, but I can't look for them myself for very long at a time. Today I finally found them, but now I can't seem to contact tech support. What happened? I don't want to delete my old files because I need the setup to remain unchanged, because I don't do well with changes. I think all I should need is to have someone located the license file on drive E: and move it to wherever it is needed on the SSD drive, but I don't know what to look for.

    Tech support is not normally available on weekends.  You should contact them as soon as the weekend passes and pick up where you left off with them.

    Help! My original and very expensive CS6 has crashed with a  simple command of selection….

    Thanks JJMack,
    unfortunately I'm Italian and I do not speak English, and most importantly
    I'm not a genius in the world of computing. In fact, if you talks to me
    about preferences folder  User id and I do not even know where to look ....
    why has crashed in your opinion? I was creating patterns with low
    resolutions. It can if you have the time and patience to help me understand
    where look the folder  and what to do in a primitive language so that an
    incompetent like me can understand.
    Thank you in advance.
    greetings
    Vittorio.

  • My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
    I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

  • The program vectorworks 2008 (not 2009) does not work with the new operating system Mavericks, which is a disaster because it forces us to change the program, and is very expensive. Apple should fix this problem

    Why should Apple fix the problem? Maybe you should consider NOT upgrading if an expensive piece of (obsolete) software you're running won't work with it...

  • My new iphone 6+ very very slow charging. 6% increasing in 1 hour charging.

    My new iphone 6+ very very slow charging. 6% increasing in 1 hour charging.

    How are you charging it? Are you using the included cable and charger? Are you plugging it into the wall? Or are you charging it from the USB port on a computer? What troubleshooting steps have you taken?
    The phone will charge best using the included cable and charger plugged into a wall outlet. If that's what you're doing and you're still having problems, you should try a couple of things. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the apple appears? Try a different cable. Try a different charger. Try a different outlet.
    If everything fails, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.
