iPhone 17 series Purchase.

I want to purchase an iPhone 17 or 17 pro. Please suggest which country will have it for the best price so that I can check with my networks

Also as per the website 1099$ is the 17 pro price, so what would be the final price ? And what would be the price for Apple employees ?

Can anyone give an idea whether Dubai would be a smart choice to purchase iPhone 17?

Buy the 15. There is no virtual difference between these two phones.

US and other GCC countries would have the best price.
The website price would be final in most cases outside unless mentioned otherwise with an "*". For Apple employees, maybe a 25% off can be expected. That was the usual, but there is a limitation or threshold for that every three years and up to 200$ I guess.

The website mentioned prices are exclusive of taxes. Because taxes are dependent on the state where the product is purchased

If you personally want to go any country and purchase iphone then feasible options are Dubai, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore. In Singapore you can take GST refund at the airport. But flight and hotels are costly there. While Thailand is a Visa free country for Indian nationals. Hotels and flight cost are feasible. Vietnam takes Rs 2400 for single entry e-visa. Hotels and flights are cheaper than Singapore.

Make sure the Iphone you are getting from outside India should be a Global model. One of my friend got Iphone 16 from Canada country specific model and he is unable to use indian SIM in it.

First of all, is it worth upgrading to iPhone 17?

also now that we are buying an iPhone from a different country, won't there be any issue when you need to repair or for some other things? @Sweetpain
