Linio, a Latin America e-commerce company, recently researched average iPhone prices in 71 countries. What they discovered is how the price is greatly impacted by taxes, tariffs and inflation.

For example, the most expensive country to buy an iPhone is Venezuela, with an average price tag of $97,813.82 due to hyperinflation. CNN Money reports that inflation in that country is expected to rise 1,660% this year.

On the other hand, the least expensive country to buy an iPhone is Angola, an oil rich nation where many people still struggle with poverty. The average price for an iPhone there is $401.94, according to the study.
