iPhone 18 Pro: India vs US vs Japan vs China | Price, SIM & Battery

India gets one physical nano-SIM + eSIM, while China gets dual physical SIM support. The US Pro Max also gets a Qualcomm modem with mmWave 5G, while other markets use Apple's C2 modem.And then there's the price difference: ₹1,64,900 in India vs around ₹1.14 lakh in the US, before US sales tax.So why is the iPhone 18 Pro significantly cheaper abroad, even when some units are assembled in India?
