In Ukraine they will be sold at lower prices than expected.

Founder of Rozetka Vladyslav Chechetkin said that from October 30 the online store will begin selling the new iPhone models that Apple recently presented. The price of these iPhones will be identical to the prices at which they can be purchased in the US.

According to Chechetkin, previously iPhone users in Ukraine had to overpay by 30-40% of the original price to buy one. Now this can be done at Rozetka just two weeks after the presentation.

We fought for this opportunity for more than one year and are grateful to the Apple team in Eastern Europe, which made sure that Ukraine was included in the list of countries whose markets Apple believes in. Previously, Rozetka customers who wanted to get an official phone with a warranty had to wait while their acquaintances, without hesitation, bought gray-market goods, which at the start of sales were also 30-40% more expensive than the real price.

Chechetkin also noted that such a rapid appearance of the legal iPhone 12 on the Ukrainian market is due to Ukraine's improved rating among official resellers.

Thus, Ukrainian users will be able to buy an iPhone in a price range from $699 (iPhone 12 mini) to $1,099 (iPhone 12 Pro Max), or from UAH 19,800 to UAH 31,150. This is significantly lower than the prices that were recently announced by the companies Citrus and Allo (from UAH 22,999 to UAH 25,499 for the iPhone 12 mini, and from UAH 39,999 to UAH 41,999 for the iPhone 12 Pro Max).

The new iPhones do not come with a charger adapter or earphones. The only exception Apple made was for France.

Earlier, Chechetkin said that Rozetka plans to open pickup points across Ukraine with the help of franchises.
