The iPhone 13 series appears to be costlier in African countries

It has been a known fact that the prices of Apple products had over the years been costlier in African countries than the U.S. and other Western countries. Renowned Tech news medium, TechCabal sought to find out from iPhone retailers in some African countries know when the iPhone 13 will be readilyavailable in the market and the cost of purchase.

 

Nigeria

Mr. Emmanuel Osho, the Chief Executive Officer of Bodds IT and Apple certified technician told TechCabal.

“Of course, you can expect that since the iPhone will be available on September 24, we’ll have it in Nigeria on or before October 1. The price will be about 30% higher because it’s new and there’s a lot of hype around it.”

Going by Mr. Osho’s forecast of 30% price increase, with an exchange rate of $1/₦550, the iPhone 13 of the 128GB ROM storage sold at $829 in the U.S. Market will be sold at ₦592,735 in Nigeria.


South Africa

According to iStoreZA , an Apple products reseller, the iPhone 13 will likely be available in South Africa by October 8. Although the store did not reveal the prices, the iPhone 13 Pro 128GB is expected to sell for around R23,499 ($1,640), while the iPhone 13 Pro Max 128GB could retail for around R25,999 ($1,815). The high price margin of over 50%, can be said to be likely premeditated on the 7% duties and 15% VAT in South Africa on Apple products, according to Business Insider.

Majority of Apple products sold in South Africa came from the Core Computer Group, the sole distributor of Apple products in the country and it is expected that the iPhone 13 will have the same range throughout the country.

Kenya

TechCabal also spoke to an authorized Apple product retailer at Yaya Center, Nairobi, Salute iWorld, with the representative of the store intimating the news outlet that the new iPhone 13 is being expected in the East African country within the nexttwo weeks.

He could not categorically infer the exact price of the  products but he affirmed that a 16% import fee, and another 6% Value Added Tax (VAT) are charged on Apple’s products, this would be added to the transportation cost and the retailer’s profit margin before the final price could be deduced.

In cognizance of this figure, a 30% price increase in Kenya (16% import fee, 6% VAT and a likely 8% profit rate) at an exchange rate of $1/KSh110, an iPhone 13 128GB will likely cost about KSh119,000.

With the minor upgrades to the iPhone 12, will the additional 30% – 50% to get the new iPhone 13 in Nigeria, Kenya or South Africa be worth it?

Time shall tell.
