iPad mini 7 Price Ranking by Country
Nukeni, a research firm that specializes in pricing analysis of Apple devices worldwide, has updated its list with the newly launched iPad mini 7 prices. The base model with 128GB Wi-Fi starts at $499 in the United States, but Hong Kong offers the lowest price for this model at $489.
In Malaysia, the starting price for the base iPad mini is $510, comparable to the U.S. price before taxes. Here’s a list of the ten countries where the iPad mini 7 is sold at the lowest prices:
- Hong Kong: $489
- United States: $499
- Malaysia: $510
- Canada: $517
- Taiwan: $525

Conversely, Brazil has the highest price for the iPad mini 7, with the model starting at $1,063, over double the U.S. price. Turkey comes next at $701.
This price analysis only includes countries where Apple directly sells its products through official stores. In regions without official stores, such as Argentina, prices can be even higher.
Several factors contribute to the variations in pricing. Exchange rates significantly influence local pricing, and taxes imposed by countries also play a crucial role. Brazil’s high import taxes contribute to its inflated prices, while Turkey’s recent economic challenges are reflected in the costs of goods.
