Turkey. The phone I mentioned is easily findable on the 2nd hand market for around 12-15k TL (non registered that is, registereds are around 20k TL), registering a new abroad phone currently costs 45k TL. It is a flat cost, but it still is three times the cost of the phone.

Retarded government economy management at its peak. Speaking of, did you know that on a brand new car purchase in Turkey, 3/4th of your purchase will be the sales tax? One car for you, three cars for the government.

Feel free to pirate everything on personal use. If you like the work put behind it feel free to support it; but it’s not necessary.

A relative from a different country gave me their old phone, a iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I can’t use it as a phone to call, because it currently takes 3 times the phone’s cost to register foreign originated phones to use permanently inside my country.

I don’t have a mac, so I can’t start coding native apps on it. At most I was able to test flutter web projects, which are basically websites. I have a goddamn phone and the most customizable thing I can make on it is testing my web app.

If I could try developing native apps on it for free, straight out of my machine I would. But it’s honestly so expensive that it drives me away any time I get slighty interested on the idea, it’s much easier on Android.
