We saw the new iPhone 15 series and some other new products every year at Apple’s highly anticipated launch event. We saw it briefly, but the prices we saw when Apple’s site reopened were honestly a bit discouraging. This year IMEI registration fee Since the price was 20,000 TL, their dreams of buying it cheaply abroad were largely thwarted.
Well, it really is one iPhone 15 If we decide to buy, would it still be possible to plan a small vacation due to the price difference between countries? Let’s figure out together how we can get the vacation we deserve if we can afford that much money.
(We make all calculations in this article assuming you have a passport, visa, international exit stamp, etc. The city we are departing from is Istanbul.)
The device we are going to buy: iPhone 15 Pro Max (256 GB)
Turkiye Price: 76,999 TL
Dubai, the Paris of the Middle East where everyone goes
Although Dubai wants to be the New York of the Middle East, if a place in the east wants to be praised, it must be compared to Paris. The most logical way to get to Dubai, a cosmopolitan and warm city, is to fly to Abu Dhabi and take a bus from there. Similar at a more affordable price It is possible to travel. When we allocate 6,361 TL for plane tickets and 702 TL for bus tickets, we can cover the travel costs. There are also cheaper flights, but now you don’t have to wait for a transfer of 29 hours in total.
Dubai is very hot and taxi is expensive, for that money book a hotel closer to the center It would make more sense, but of course the choice is yours. If you book a room at the York International Hotel with the benefit of the metro, you will only have to pay 1028 TL. We pay 45 dirham for food + drinks, which is 330 TL. We pay about 14 dirham, or 102 TL, for the metro.

Let’s look at another country: Basel, Switzerland, for those who want to test their cameras with postcard-like photos.
Where everyone is a different local of Switzerland In short, he has two important qualities: he does not get involved in wars and writes a book about banking. Of course, the image of the country is not like that: when Switzerland is mentioned, the first things that come to mind are chocolate and nature views. Switzerland, with its mountains, which we know because Turkish teams went to camp constantly for a while, is one of the countries where we can buy an iPhone cheaply in the EU. If we look at the current exchange rate iPhone 15 Pro Maxis sold for 39,206 TL.
The cost of a return flight that we have to pay to go to Basel is 5,477 TL. That’s nice. Only Switzerland itself is expensive, so finding affordable accommodation is important. If you have family or something, it might make more sense to go there, you’ll stay longer and you won’t spend a lot of money on food. An average dinner costs 25 Swiss francs, i.e. 755 TL. Coffee is equal to 155 TL. “I’m thirsty, at least let me drink some water.” You say, well, 110 TL. Not cool. Luckily for you, I found an affordable hotel including breakfast, only 2,941 TL. It’s not a place where you would expect a view or anything, but it does look nice. Being a city that can be walked from one side to the other in 1 hour, this is a city where we will be walking a lot.

Great Britain is known Left the EU with Brexit and it has continued to annoy FM players ever since. No, work permits were already difficult and this happened to us. Anyway. The iPhone 15 Pro Max price in the UK is 40,355 TL. Admittedly, it is a serious amount. The amount we have to pay for the trip is 5,721 TL return. Hotels are quite expensive, The nightly price of the cheapest and most affordable hotel I found was 3,330 TL. There is a cheaper copy, but the scores are very low and the images are not very pleasant. The price difference is around 300-500 TL.
London is not a cheap place, and you should be aware of that. An average meal costs 20 pounds, i.e. 673 TL. Or you can fill your stomach for £8 from well-known burger chains, the choice is yours. British museum It’s free, so check out Anatolia’s historical monuments while you’re at it. Go to Tower Bridge for 417 TL and act like a tourist in Galata. That’s your choice.

These prices and conditions may change, it is useful to take this into account. It is striking, however, that if we receive a phone call with a short holiday abroad, the holiday can be free. Currencies used dated 13.09.23 exchange rate information. Although there may be cheaper alternatives, we would like to point out that we prefer alternatives that will help you get through a weekend with as little hassle as possible. So it is not investment advice.
