I'm here visiting Sao Paulo and went to the Apple store here just to see wtf is going on. They're selling the new iPhone Pro Max 14 at $2k, base memory, like holy shit.

Anything electronic that is not made in Brazil is extremely expensive, because the import fees are excessive.

Before COVID, I remember hearing that if you wanted an iPhone over there, it was actually cheaper to fly to Miami (including a hotel stay for a few days) and buy one in the US than it was to buy it in Brazil.

Pretty sure they have at least a +60% tax on imported electronics
