In the early morning of September 8, Apple held a "Far Out" press conference. Apple CEO Cook made a brilliant debut with the company's latest masterpiece - iPhone 14 series, becoming the most exciting program of this long-awaited "Technology Spring Festival Gala". There are four models of the iPhone 14 series released this time, namely iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
iPhone 14 series
The iPhone 14 series not only optimizes the mobile phone hardware, but also makes corresponding adjustments to the mobile phone system, which has once again greatly improved the overall performance of this generation of mobile phones. Especially the Pro version, not only uses the "Lingdong Island" pill screen, but also is equipped with a brand new A16 chip and an upgraded 48-megapixel main camera, once again bringing consumers a new user experience.
Due to the increase in chip, labor costs and hardware costs, except for the minimum memory version of the iPhone 14 series released this time, the price of other memory versions has been increased, and the increase remains between 100 yuan and 500 yuan. Combined with the upgrade of mobile phones, it is reasonable to see such price fluctuations. It should be noted that due to factors such as currency exchange rates and tax rates, the iPhone 14 series has different pricing in countries around the world. Today, mobile phone China summarizes the pricing of some Apple mobile phones in the first launch market to see where is the cheapest place to buy an iPhone 14 mobile phone in these regions.

Since China was listed as the first-time iPhone market, the supply of new iPhones has steadily increased in China, and the selling price has dropped slightly. Especially in recent years, in order to attract customers during the 618 and Double Eleven shopping festivals, major domestic e-commerce platforms have continuously launched various large subsidies, which has led to the high-priced price of basic iPhones in China. Referring to the 618th period this year, the minimum purchase of iPhone 13 on an e-commerce shopping platform is only about 4,700 yuan, which also makes China one of the cheapest iPhone areas.

When Apple mobile phones first entered the Chinese market, the supply of goods to the country was not sufficient, and supply was often in short supply. At that time, Hong Kong already had a stable supply chain for Apple phones, and the price was lower than that of the Chinese version. Many mainland consumers often went to Hong Kong to buy Apple phones faster and more money. At that time, there were still many people who were engaged in purchasing iPhones in Hong Kong.To this day, many people still choose to go to Hong Kong to buy Apple phones. With relevant proof, the Hong Kong version of iPhone can also enjoy certain after-sales service in the mainland.

price comparison and purchase recommendation
After simply taking stock of the pricing of some major sales locations, CNMO then converts the selling prices of each region into a unified currency unit, and this time, the comparison is made with RMB as the convertible currency unit. The specific situation is shown in the figure below:

Specifically, the lowest price comparison
Specially, the iPhone 14 series with the lowest price is naturally the United States, and the iPhone in this region The starting price of the 14 series is only 5,550 yuan, which is a gap of hundreds or even thousands of yuan compared to other regions. This gap is gradually increasing with the difference between the memory version and the model of the mobile phone. The highest price difference is the 1TB version of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is nearly 4,000 yuan cheaper than Europe. It's no wonder that many Chinese consumers want to go to the United States to buy the new iPhone 14 series.
However, this price gap may not be "utilized" by consumers this year. This time, the US version of iPhone 14 series has all cancelled the SIM card slot and used eSIM instead. This technology is not currently supported in the country. This means that if you buy the US iPhone 14 series in the United States, it will not be able to use it normally in China and you can only access the Internet when connecting to WiFi.
iPhone 14 series
It is worth noting that by comparing the selling price, it is not difficult to find that the pricing advantages of the Hong Kong version of iPhone are no longer so obvious, especially for low-capacity versions of mobile phones, the price gap remains between 100-200 yuan. Among them, the 128GB iPhone 14 is even priced higher than the Chinese version. However, in the Pro version, the price difference between the two is still very obvious, and the price difference remains between 400-1400 yuan.
So, if you just want to buy the basic version of the iPhone 14 series, whether you buy the Chinese version or the Hong Kong version, the overall gap between the two is not obvious. However, if you want to buy the Pro version, you can choose to go to Hong Kong if you have the conditions. After all, there is a price difference of about 1,400 yuan. It should be noted that if you want to buy a Hong Kong version of iPhone, it is best to keep the relevant purchase certificates. In this way, if you provide relevant certificates after returning to the mainland, you can enjoy certain after-sales service in the official authorized store after providing them.
The highest price of the iPhone 14 series is in Europe, with a starting price of 7,115 yuan, which is nearly 1,600 yuan more than the United States. The price difference between the 1TB version of iPhone 14 Pro Max is nearly 4,000 yuan, which makes many netizens call Apple fans in Europe a "big injustice". In fact, if you look closely at the table, you will see that the UK is in a consistent manner with the European region in terms of pricing.
iPhone 14 series
So, why does this happen? Europe and the UK have extremely high VAT on digital products. With the support of VAT, if Apple wants to obtain the same level of revenue in other regions in these regions, it must increase its selling price. At the same time, Apple's agents in Europe and the UK have higher operating costs than other regions, so agents also need a certain increase in selling price to maintain a balance of revenue and expenditure. Under the influence of many factors, the pricing of the iPhone 14 series in these two regions has increased significantly.
Finally, we turn our attention back to the country. Compared with the domestic pricing of the iPhone 13 series, the starting price of the iPhone 14 series in China has not been adjusted, but depending on the memory version, the price has increased between 100 and 500 yuan, and this increase overall seems to have little impact. Compared with the pricing in most regions, the pricing of the national version is fair.
However, unlike other regions, domestic e-commerce platforms often subsidize Apple phones in various activities to stimulate consumers to purchase. Especially for the basic version, various price subsidies are often posted in China, and the activity price is very attractive. Taking the 618 event as an example, the price of iPhone 13 after subsidies on a certain e-commerce platform has been reduced to less than 5,000 yuan, with a discount of nearly 1,300 yuan, attracting many consumers to buy it.This situation is likely to continue to the iPhone 14 series.
iPhone 14 series
So, if you are a user who wants to buy iPhone 14/14 Plus, you can wait for the next shopping festival. After the subsidy, the price will be very discounted, even lower than that in the United States. If you are a user who wants to buy a new phone with a Pro version and do not want to go to Hong Kong to purchase a new phone, you can directly purchase it through the official authorized channel. The price of the Pro version in China does not fluctuate much.
From the price point, the best places to buy the iPhone 14 series are the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and China. Considering that eSIM technology has not been promoted in China for the time being, the best choice for Chinese consumers to buy phones is still the Hong Kong version and the Chinese version. If you choose iPhone 14/14 Plus, you can wait for the shopping festival event on domestic e-commerce platforms, and the purchase price may be discounted by thousands of yuan. The Pro version can be selected as the Hong Kong version. If you don’t have the time and energy to go to Hong Kong, you can directly purchase related products through Apple’s official authorized channels.
