Getting Sales tax back when returning an iPhone

I bought an iPhone 15 just 10 days ago but I regretted not getting the iPhone 15 pro, so I’m thinking about going to the store and ask for an exchange. According to apple policy I get a full refund or I can go to any Apple Store in the country for an exchange within 20 days of the purchase. However I bought the iPhone in Texas where I payed 8.25% in Sales Tax and want to exchange it in Detroit. Do I get the whole sales tax back in the exchange process?

iPhone 15, iOS 17

You will get your full refund back including tax within 14 days of purchase. It will be a 2 step process where you will get a refund first, then can make another purchase if you want to. The exchange is not a policy they have, just the refund, so if you purchase another device after getting the refund you can call it an exchange, but that is up to you.

Apple does not normally do exchanges. They should refund the full price of the iPhone 15 to you, including taxes. Then you can purchase the Pro. You should not encounter an double taxes. Any exchange would not work in this case anyway because the Pro costs more than the original price.
