How to buy the latest Apple products at the best prices from the US

Apple produce some of the most sought-after tech items in the world. Known for their sleek design, cutting-edge performance, and seamless ecosystem, iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches continue to dominate wish lists across the globe. But they also come with a hefty price tag, especially for those living outside the USA.

The good news? With a smart buying strategy and a great value parcel forwarding service, you can get the latest Apple products from the U.S. at better prices than in most other countries.

Why buy Apple products from the U.S.?

Apple sets relatively consistent prices across the United States, and thanks to intense retail competition and promotional cycles, American buyers often benefit from discounts, bundles, and tax incentives that aren't available elsewhere. For international buyers, U.S. pricing (even after taxes, fees, and forwarding costs) can often beat local retail prices.

Some advantages include:

• Lower base prices: Apple’s MSRP in the U.S. is often 10%–25% lower than in other countries.
• ‍Frequent sales and deals: U.S. retailers frequently run discounts, especially around events such as Black Friday, back-to-school, or new product launches.
• ‍Wider product availability: New releases typically reach the U.S. first, often with the widest configuration options.
