Apple has a store in India:

https://www.apple.com/in/iphone/

iPhone 13 is listed as ₹69900.00 (920$) vs. $799 in the USA. The former includes taxes, so its only fair to add $80 to the latter (taxes in my state are 10%), so it is still around $40 difference, which isn't bad.

But it appears that the iPhone 13s sold in India today are already being produced in India. If that is the case, any secondary resalers on Amazon are going to take a loss if they imported the phones the hard way (though they could have just smuggled them in).

vs. $829 in the USA

799 includes carrier discounts. You get bank discounts in India which would get the price down to little over $800

iPhone 13 costs about the same as it would if you bought it in the US.

But 13 Pro is a different story It costs $1580 compared to $1099 (incl. tax) in the US. I guess they don't make iPhone 13 Pros in India

A correction - the price of Rs.69,900 is for the iPhone 13 mini. The iPhone 13 is listed at Rs.79,900 in the Indian Apple store (~$1,050 against $799 in the USA).
