The device, which is offered for sale in the US market with a starting price of $1,999, has reached $4,742 in Turkey due to taxes and other cost items. This situation propelled Turkey to the top of the global list, sparking a new debate among users about the cost of accessing technology.

The Price Range of Foldable Devices is Expanding
The iPhone Duo, with its innovative foldable screen technology, occupies a strategic position in Apple’s product range. However, high costs make it difficult for consumers to access different storage options for the device. The standard 512 GB model is available to users with a price tag of 247,000 TL, while the 1 TB storage version requires a payment of 281,000 TL. The top-of-the-range 2 TB model is launched with a considerably higher price range of 336,000 TL.
Global Price Differences are Noteworthy
In this price ranking, where Turkey is at the top, Brazil is in second place with sales of $4,311. India is in third place with $3,153, finding its place among the high-priced markets. Tax regulations and logistics costs are shown as the main reasons for the price gap between these countries. The entry price of $1,999 in the USA reaches more than double the cost in Turkey due to the effect of taxes.
Consumers Evaluate High Prices
Foldable technologies, a dream for technology enthusiasts, are being categorized as luxury goods due to their high price tags. Apple’s new initiative shows that foldable screen technology is now in its widespread adoption phase and that high production costs are directly reflected in the end-user price.
Users in Türkiye, in particular, are wondering how such high prices will affect the added value offered by the device. The sales performance of the device in the Turkish market in the coming days will provide valuable clues about general economic trends in the market.
