One of the items on my todo list is a new phone

For One Plus 6T

I emailed the customer support today asking why there is a 75 euro price difference after conversion between the US/Canadian markets ( 75 euro cheaper than europe and other countries outside of europe I spot checked). The phone I am after is 629 euro and in America it is 629 dollars. Which is a massive saving.

Maybe the EU has massive tariffs that US and Canada don't have. Or maybe the American market 330 million population (+ more for north america as a whole) is so massive that the economies of scale are able to keep the price lower. Or maybe it is just priced efficiently at the right price to maximise profits in different jurisdictions. I'm not sure if that is true as India's price is almost the same after conversion as the EU and if they were pricing better for devoloping countries ( like companies such as the accounting bodies ACCA do) then you'd expect India to be cheaper than Ireland.
