United States
The United States, as usual, is the number one country on the list of the top five cheapest countries from which to buy the iPhone 16 Plus. The iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max are also the cheapest in this region compared to anywhere else. The US iPhone 16 Plus costs $899 for the base 128GB model, which converts to approximately Rs 75,400. Compared to the Indian pricing of the same variant, that accounts for a difference of about Rs 14,400, which isn’t as significant as the price gap of Rs 43,000 between the US and India price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB model.
Canada
Then there is Canada, where the iPhone 16 Plus starts at CAD 1,279, converting to approximately Rs 79,000. That’s about Rs 10,900 less than you get for the iPhone 16 Plus 128GB in India.
China
Apple is selling the 16 Plus in China for CNY 6,999, which is approximately Rs 82,600, accounting for a difference of Rs 7,300. That might not be a huge difference, but it is still cheaper than what the iPhone 16 Plus costs in India, resulting in a better deal if you can get it through a friend or a relative visiting India from China.
Hong Kong
The iPhone 16 Plus costs HKD 7,699 (approximately Rs 82,900), which is Rs 7,000 cheaper in India.
Japan
In Japan, the iPhone 16 Plus starts at JPY 1,39,800, approximately Rs 83,000, when converted to INR. That’s a difference of about Rs 6,900 compared to INR.
