Buy Apple products on Brazil it is something for those who have a lot of money left over or like to borrow even their underwear. For most Apple item buyers, the best option is to wait for that international trip (either yours or a close person) and bring the device from abroad – even paying the import fee – which doesn’t even apply to some products like iPhones and Apple Watches, for example -, the final value is usually (well) lower than the one charged here, in reais.
The question remains: which is the best country, considering only price and currency conversion, to buy each Apple product? If you want to decide your next trip based only on the most advantageous price of your future Mac, iPhone or iPad, the website The Mac Index will be the greatest possible ally.

The sad note, of course, is to see the Brazil last in all the products listed on the website – so much so that the number one tip shared by The Next Web by the creator of the site, Wafiq Rodzuan, it was “do not buy Apple products in Brazil”.
The idea of the site is very simple: show the real price, already converted to your currency, of each Apple product in each country where it is officially marketed – and when I say “each” product, it is really the complete Apple catalog , from the Mac Pro and iPhone XS to the book “Designed by Apple in California” and the set of extra tips for the Apple Pencil.
The ranking of each product is set up according to the country where it is sold at the lowest price. For those who want to buy the iPhone XS Max 512GB, for example, the best choice is Japan, where the device costs R $ 5,653; the podium is completed by United Kingdom (R $ 5,747) and the Australia (R $ 5,778).
The cool thing is that the creators of the site have already included in the calculation of prices the tax rebate offered by several countries – most countries in the European Union, for example, have a policy of Tax Free very interesting, with returns that can reach 27% of the value of the product, and the website displays both the “total” prices of the devices and the values already with the deduction deducted.
We tried to do a quick experiment and find some product in which our beloved republic was not on the bottom of the list, but we gave up after the 15th attempt. If anyone finds an example of this to encourage us, please let us know in the comments.
