About this website
Similar to many websites with comparable functions, iPrice Pro’s main feature is to compare the prices of Apple products across multiple countries worldwide.
About Categories
In addition to price comparison, iPrice Pro incorporates purchase recommendation estimates from the Macrumors Buyers Guide.
To reduce maintenance costs, we use the same categorization as the Buyers Guide (to have a more reliable source of information when updates are needed).
About Exchange Rates
We believe that an accurate and effective exchange rate is crucial for comparing prices across multiple countries.
Especially in recent years, exchange rate fluctuations can sometimes be intense.
I spent some time searching for a stable and low-cost source of exchange rate information. Eventually, I found one where the maintainer provides free and relatively effective exchange rates to everyone using a clever method. This aligns perfectly with iPrice Pro’s daily build.
About Countries
Apple sells their products in more countries than those listed on iPrice Pro. However, iPrice Pro only retrieves data from countries with official Apple Stores to ensure you can easily purchase Apple products in these countries. There are two exceptions: Vietnam, because Apple sometimes manufactures their products there, and the Philippines, because I currently reside in the Philippines.
SKUs
iPrice Pro only displays prices for entry-level configurations.
Obtaining prices for different SKUs is not complicated, but it would increase some manual labor costs.
I’m not sure if I would have enough patience to update the data promptly when Apple releases new products.
Moreover, in most cases, the price of the cheapest configuration is usually sufficient to illustrate the price differences between countries.
Information Sources
The product prices on the website are automatically scraped from Apple’s website at a specific time.
However, these data may lose some accuracy after currency conversion, as exchange rate data from different sources are not always consistent. Please be aware of this.
