On 1 November 2026 we compared two price tags. Apple's American online store sells the unlocked iPhone 18 Pro Max with 256GB for USD 1,299. In Kathmandu, Quality Computer, an authorised Apple partner whose prices follow Generation Next's list, shows the same model at Rs 279,900 (price list updated 27 October 2026). New Hampshire has no sales tax, so a buyer in Manchester or Concord pays the listed price. At Nepal Rastra Bank's selling rate for 1 November 2026 (USD 1 = Rs 152.23), USD 1,299 works out to about Rs 197,747.
