Apple's items should be fit for purpose. If they break, not due to customer negligence, and it's within 2 years, at the very least customers should be able to claim the phone under warranty. It should apply universally.

I wish you well with the company, whether as investor or owner, that'll take advantage of the opportunity you perceive in the marketplace.
You're right. I was wrong. It wasn't 22 states, it was 25 states that you could end up paying 8% or higher. You're intentionally ignoring the full state and local tax rate in the link you provided. That full rate is what most people pay. We're getting way too "rabbit hole" with this. My point: If you're going to argue a position, base it on real facts, not just parts of facts that bolster your position. No one's arguing the high world price of iPhones. They are arguing your evidence and it's presentation.
You are "intentionally ignoring" that fact some customers ship to a 0% tax state address and have it on-shipped to their home state address. Exactly, too far off course now, that's why I referred to the lowest price in each of those countries including USA. Fact is buying iPhone in many countries outside of USA is more expensive. The below table is for iPhone 6, but you get the point it's not an imaginary thing.
Well if you want to advocate secondhand phones should have implied warranties, go right ahead. I'm being more sensible about this, "fit for purpose" i.e. the phone should be working for its purpose of a two year contract at a minimum. The phone should be durable over its life. If something on it fails, it's Apple's duty to correct it in that time, with the only exception of user damage.

HA! This isn't craigslist stats, these are well research and documented facts. iPhone costs much less in the USA. See above. Maybe visit Apple's website and do your own research and discover the fact all over again.
I’m referring to Apple's lowest pricing advertised on its website for comparison at http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone6s
Yes, that's right, it's based on today. Let's try again in a month. Then six months. Apple also adjusts their pricing on currency too. iPhone 6 and now iPhone 6s pricing suggests consistently pricing outside of the US is more expensive, that fact doesn't change.
Great avatar by the way!Eureka!iPhones are expensive everywhere, Mr Cook.
You've missed something in your calculation. You have to consider the income (GDP per capita) while doing such a comparison. Let's assume an Australian guy is much more wealthier than an American. Then it would justify to pay a higher price, because the standard is high. Again, that's an assumption. But even though, we know that the income in India is much lower than in America and the result is that the indian costumer is even worse off than in your calculation. It's called in economics purchasing power parity (PPP).
