If you’re wondering if the price is cheaper if you order it from the US Apple store, it is. I’m interested in the 15 Pro 256GB version and I just did a quick rough calculation and if I order it online it would cost me around 377KD after taxes and shipping versus 407KD here in Kuwait. The more expensive the phone, the bigger the difference will be.
If you’re interested in getting it locally, Gait will start taking preorders next Friday, September 22nd.

how can we order it from the US apple store??
As usual, it’s overpriced in Kuwait. Compare it to other countries that have value added tax and sales tax and it’s still cheaper to get it from those countries. See here- https://m.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_15_pro_max_pricing_us_india_germany_uk-amp-59877.php
How is it overpriced? I’m actually surprised at how reasonable the price is here in Kuwait when compared to the UK or EU for example. The 15 Pro 128GB is 385KD in the UK and 407KD in the Netherlands. The same phone is 373KD in Kuwait.
Comparing the price of the phone in Kuwait to the price in India isn’t reasonable.
Morning Mark,
I’m curious why the launch price is 20% higher than the selling price at Apple US? I don’t think comparison to countries that impose sales tax can justify it.
I assume that they are just capitalizing on demand (which they have a right to do) and the pricing will taper down per usual following the initial frenzy.
I think it’s 20% higher everywhere outside the US and just even more expensive in the UK and EU because of their taxes on top of it.
Just noticed that the Apple store in Dubai has a 14% margin but they also accept trade ins which makes more appealing.
They do trade in here. Just calculated my 13 Pro 256GB and got 132KD for it. Not sure if thats good or not? Need to check second hand market prices.

I’m sure you’ll get more than plenty people who would be willing to pay 150 kd for it.
Myus stopped their tax free address? Earlier it was fully tax-free zone.
same address but last year it started taxes, something to do with Florida I assume.
wait, if I order from the US, isn’t it e-sim only? Just read it on their website while roughly going through orders
yeah esim only but you should move to esim already if you haven’t, a lot more convenient
Are there any restrictions and limitations in the iPhone if you buy it from UAE? Since the Facetime and Whatsapp calls are banned.
no clue
Doesn’t the US version come without a sim card slot? and if yes, is that going to be an issue or is there a way around it?
No sim card slot in US version. You don’t need simcards anymore since all the operators have shifted to esim.
Unless you like to travel, not every country has an e-sim option and in some places e-sim plans are more expensive than physical sim plans.
But if you like to travel then just use roaming. I travel often and haven’t had a need to buy a SIM card and I have a friend who is exploring the world one country at a time and she just uses roaming with Zain as well. No need for buying SIM cards considering our roaming is cheap.
Fair point. I always feel like the 7 KD 1 week roaming thing won’t be enough but I barely end up using my phone when I’m on holiday so guess that would work.
Yeah I used to run out of bandwith since we get like 1gb a day before it slows down but now i’ve gotten into the habit of hopping into restaurant and shop wifis whenever i can and that sorted the issue out.
Unfortunately, there is no Zain roaming in Lebanon.
I think there still is but not with Zain. We do have esims in Lebanon though.
The Kuwait Customers should boycott Apple because of the overpricing here in Kuwait. Its Totally Not Acceptable. Just because we dont have taxes here you can add that money to the price at which it was launched. they are looting customers of kuwait
Did you even check the prices? Not only are we cheaper than Europe, we’re even cheaper than India and Thailand!
And all this for what? Type c
Maybe you should read up on the phone or watch the event. They barely mentioned USB C…
If I order it from Gait on the 29th, when will I get it? I�m gonna get the 256 15 pro natural titanium colour since that�s the new hotness.
Pre order it from gait, they said pre orders start on 22nd but I was on their website earlier and looks like pre orders already opened. You would pick up phone on 29th or 28th at midnight
I already signed up for their form of interest it shows on the main screen so hopefully I can order it asap. I called them and they said I can order it officially on the 22nd and delivered by the 29th tho. I want to know however will the Gait phone versions be the US one with e-sim only or regular like the 14 pro etc? Bc I have my main line on a card and my back up on e-sim so I will need to get an e-sim the same day if the Gait versions are the US ones.
Gait is selling Middle East versions with a SIM card slot. You can convert your SIM card to an eSIM now if you want, it�s just a click of a button.
