Why is iPhone 5C and 5S so much more expensive in Sweden than in the US?

Taxes...import duties...transportation costs...exchange rate...all of this contributes to the cost. The US prices do not include any taxes.

Because we Americans love to stick it you Europeans.

Why is European wine more expensive?

You're leaving out one huge factor: Exchange Rates...remember, Apple is a US based company, & Exchange Rates play a huge part in pricing.

Everything is more expensive in Sweden

Never heard of world trade this is how it works

That could be seen as flaming ...................😉

Don't forget that simple marketing comes into play as well. If the market analysts feel they can charge more for something in one place over another, they will do so. There is nothing that compels any company to price uniformly in all the markets they sell their product in. The do their market analysis for each specific market, and set prices accordingly.

Many things sold in the USA vary widely in price just within the USA itself.

That was kinda what I suspected. Bad Apple! :D

what's bad about being smart business people? Companies exist to make profits and they will charge what the market will bear. If the market reacts by not buying because the price is too high, the price will be reduced? Simple market forces at work - highschool economics. Apparently, Apple feels their sales in Sweden at the current price point are going well - if you want to change the price, stop buying the product at that price.
