    First of all, there are differences in pricing from place to place, plus the issue of taxes.

    Causes

    1. The American version of the locked machine needs to be used only when it comes to China, and it is quite troublesome to use, so it is cheaper.

    2. Another reason is the tax rate, the United States has sufficient supply and low tax rate, so this is also a reason for cheapness.

    3. The American version of the mobile phone does not need to be taxed, and every merchant earns pure profits, so it will be relatively cheaper.

    The difference between the Bank of China iPhone and the American version of the iPhone:

    1. The place of sale is different.

    BNM is sold in Chinese mainland, while the US version is sold in the United States.

    2. **Different.

    The difference between the national bank and the American version is also relatively obvious, and the ** of the same version of the model is higher.

    3. Different versions.

    Regarding the derivative version of Apple's mobile phone, the Bank of China only has an unlocked version, while the US version has two versions, one is a card machine version and the other is an unlocked version.

    4. The operation is different.

    Because the American version of the iPhone does not have any three-pack service, and the American version of the mobile phone cannot use the operator's traffic card in China, and most of the American version of the mobile phone is smuggled over, it cannot be taxed.

    The price of the iPhone in each region is different, and the American version is cheaper than the Bank of China after being converted into RMB, so it is much cheaper, but the American version is generally smuggled in, and the reliability of the quality is not very high, so it is also uneven.

    iPhone is an American product, and the Bank of China needs to pay import taxes for sales, so it is much more expensive, and you need to pay import taxes and import value-added tax, and a mobile phone is hundreds to a thousand yuan larger, otherwise the Bank of China mobile phone is also cheap;

    As the name suggests, the American version of the iPhone is the Apple phone in the United States, so it is very cheap to buy a one-step iPhone in the United States, and if it is sold in China, plus the mess of taxes and fees, it will definitely be expensive.

    The American version of the iPhone is cheaper than the Bank of China because the iPhone is originally an American company, and it is considered a domestic mobile phone in the United States.

    First of all, the cost is different, whether it is manufacturing or transportation, there are differences in themselves. Secondly, the money used is also different, and the currency exchange rate of the day will also be different.

    The last thing to talk about is the issue of policy, tariffs, and other tax issues.

    For example, in the processing and production of a mobile phone in China, because the mobile phone of the Bank of China needs to pay about 17% value-added tax, ** is naturally higher than the American version. For example, if we buy a Bank of China iPhone, if the tax is not included** is 7700, then the cost you need is 7000 + (7000 17%) = 8190 yuan, which means that 1190 of the Bank of China machine you bought for 8190 yuan is VAT.

    First of all, our country needs to charge a value-added tax on imported electronic products, according to the relevant regulations of the People's Republic of China, for electronic products, 17% value-added tax needs to be charged. The VAT calculation formula is: income including VAT = excluding tax + tax amount.

    What is this concept? For example, if the tax-free ** of this electronic product is 6000 yuan, then you need 6000 + (6000 * 17%) = 7020 yuan in your hands, yes, this means that the national version of the mobile phone you bought for 7020 has 1020 VAT in it.

    Another reason is that when the general American version of the mobile phone enters the country, it is not possible to bring more electronic products for personal use from other countries and regions into the country due to the relevant filing. Otherwise, it will be cleared by the customs, and serious cases will be recognized as smuggling, so the general American version enters the country with a separate box from the machine.

    After unpacking in large quantities, it enters the domestic market, and in general, especially the American version of the iPhone, due to network restrictions and other reasons, it is also divided into unlocked version and locked version, compared to the locked version is cheaper.

    In fact, it can be simple, that is, the exchange rate and tariff issues.

    In fact, the factory ** of the iPhone should be unified, but as soon as various taxes are paid and the exchange rate is calculated, it is probably the final pricing, which I believe most people are easier to understand.

    The purchase channels are different, and the reason why some merchants sell parallel mobile phones is cheap, because there will be some ** activities abroad, and these merchants will get some mobile phones through the channels, plus the channel ** is well controlled, which will naturally lead to ** low price.

    1. There is no sales service for the American version of mobile phones in China.

    The reason why the American version of mobile phones are so much cheaper is because there are many parallel mobile phones, and it is difficult to sell them after sale.

  14. Anonymous users2024-01-24

    Because the American version of the mobile phone itself is still lacking in after-sales quality, it is naturally not high.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-23

    Because this type of phone has a big problem in terms of quality.

  16. Anonymous users2024-01-22

    Because the American version of the mobile phone is smuggled into China, there is no need to pay tariffs, and there is no after-sales service for the American version of the mobile phone. As for whether it is a fifteen-day machine or a refurbished machine or an assembly machine, it is said separately.

    Because it may be parallel imports, and the quality is not high, they are all small profits but quick turnover.

    The U.S. version of the phone has to be purchased abroad, eliminating customs duties, shipping fees and other costs, so it is cheaper.

    The American version is sold to their country, and if you get the American version of the phone, it can't be guaranteed in China, so it's cheap.

    Dear, if you regret buying the American version of Apple, there may be several reasons:1System languages and smart apps are not suitable for:

    The U.S. version of Apple uses the English system language and the U.S. app store, which can be a little difficult if you're not very good at English or need to use some apps that are only available in China. 2.Warranty service is not available:

    Since Apple does not have a global warranty policy, the purchase of the US version of Apple products may not be able to enjoy Apple's official pre-warranty service in China, which may cause you trouble. 3.The cost is higher:

    The price of the American version of Apple is often a little more expensive than the Chinese version, and there are also costs such as overseas shipping and tariffs, plus factors such as exchange rates, the overall cost may be higher than buying the Chinese version. If you have a similar situation, it is recommended that you contact the seller or Apple official as soon as possible to seek a solution. If you want to buy Apple products, it is recommended to choose regular channels and pay attention to the model and region information of the products.
