Analysis
The table compares iPhone prices in Nigeria (in NGN) and Dubai (in AED) for different models as well as storage capacities. The analysis reveals a few important insights:
Regional Price Variations:
Each iPhone model and storage capacity has a higher price in Nigeria compared to Dubai. For example, an iPhone 13 with 128 GB of memory costs about NGN 947,697.59 while it is AED 2,199.82 in Dubai. This discrepancy can be seen across all models, implying that import duty tariffs, taxes among others have resulted in higher prices in Nigeria.
Effect of Memory Capacity on the Cost:
The price rises as the internal memory increases on every iPhone model regardless of whether it is sold in Nigeria or Dubai. As an illustration, with one terabyte built-in memory, Nigerian resellers sell Iphone 15 pro at a cost of approximately NGN 2,373,122.77 while their counterparts from United Arab Emirates price it at AED 5,505.07 which is way above the cost for the same model but with lower internal storage space (128GB).
Comparative Price Trends:
Newer models like the iphone 15 and iphone 15 pro are more expensive than older ones such as iPhone13. This pattern is observed in both Nigeria and Dubai indicating that enhanced technology advancements along with additional features raises their prices.
Currencies and Their Consequences for Pricing:
The issue of purchasing power is the main thing that crops up in the price comparison. The fluctuating rates of exchange between NGN and AED are capable of making iPhones unaffordable in these places hence the currency movements have to be considered by consumers when buying.
Strategy Used By Regions To Price Local Products:
These huge differences in prices suggest that Apple may apply varying pricing strategies depending on regions. These prices may be determined by factors such as local market demand, economic conditions and competition.
