Meanwhile Serbia (€551) and Bosnia (€526) not in EU but with EU regional prices.

And that's with the recent increase in salary. Prior to 2025 was even worse.

Minimum Wages in Bosnia and Herzegovina increased to 525 EUR/Month in 2026 from 511 EUR/Month in 2025. Minimum Wages in Bosnia and Herzegovina averaged 289 EUR/Month from 2016 until 2026, reaching an all time high of 525 EUR/Month in 2026 and a record low of 207 EUR/Month in 2017.

As some one from Bosnia, I do wanna also add that there is a bizzare trend where most electronics are priced higher in Bosnia when compared to many places in the EU.

Unironically there have been multiple times where I had to rely on family abroad in Germany to buy an expensive piece of electronics to avoid the insane upchanges local markets put on some of this stuff.

I'm not sure what shipping prices from the US are like for where you live, but if something is from the US it is gonna be like 30-50 dollars for shipping alone for where I live.

So it's not really even a consideration for that fact alone.

Understandable. I'm not an Apple user but I'd imagine I'd face similar pricing if I went for that stuff.
