Purchase iPhone 13 Pro Max 128gb from USA

I'm planning to buy iPhone 13 Pro Max 128gb from California or New York. Currently the price is $1099. As I'm not from here, I'm not sure if any tax would be applicable on purchase from any store. Can anyone help me with the information? If the tax is applicable then how much that would be in percentage?

Ok, thanks for the links. However, they are "hearsay" until an official document from Apple is provided. I just double-checked the most current Apple Hardware Warranty and it still does not indicate that Apple supports an international warranty on their iPhones. Of course, this can change.

If you can purchase this iPhone, at either of these locations, there will certainly be a sales tax applied.


Some things to keep in mind, if you are not a US resident:

  • You may be restricted to having to have a US-based credit/debit line to make the purchase.
  • The iPhone warranty is NOT international. That means, should you need to have this phone repaired, it would have to be sent back to the US. However, Apple will not accept any foreign shipments so that means either you will have to bring it back, or have it shipped to a friend or relative in the US so they can take it in for servicing.


If your goal is to "save" money, you may not find buying the phone in the US to be your best option.

Sales Tax will be applied based on location: state, county and city of purchase.


See tax rates for California : link-> https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/taxes-and-fees/sales-use-tax-rates.htm

See tax rates for New York: link-> https://www1.nyc.gov/site/finance/taxes/business-nys-sales-tax.page


Do note, warranty on a U.S iPhone will only be valid in the U.S. If you need service repair or replacement you will need to physically bring the iPhone back t the U.S for Warranty covered service.
