- The iPhone 16 Pro Max costs ₹1,39,900 in India after discounts, while Dubai’s price is around ₹1,16,550.
- After adding flight costs and visa fees, buying in Dubai can exceed ₹1,43,550, making it less of a bargain.
- Factors like import duties and local Apple production have narrowed the price gap between India and Dubai.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max has launched, and many wonder if flying to Dubai for a cheaper deal is still worth it. In Dubai, the 256GB model costs AED 5,099 (₹1,16,550), but after adding flight (₹20,000) and visa costs (₹7,000), you’d spend over ₹1,43,550. Meanwhile, in India, it’s available for ₹1,39,900 after discounts.
With the price gap now narrower due to local Apple production and fluctuating import duties, the once-attractive Dubai deal is less appealing. Unless you’re looking for a quick vacation, buying the iPhone 16 Pro Max in India may be the smarter choice.
