next week I will be travelling to the US and in particular to nyc and norcal.
I wanted to buy a couple iphones to bring back to europe but I was wondering which state had the lowest sales tax.
I purchased my iphone in ohio last year and it was about $425 and apparently that's one of the "cheaper" states.
where should I get the iphones now, in CA or NY?
thanks for your help

California has a statewide sales tax of 7.25, sometimes local supplementary taxes are allowed up to 8.75%

New York has a 4% state sales tax. All counties and some cities within NY add local taxes ranging from 3% to 5.5%.

I would guess California is cheapest, but i don't think you will save shitloads of cash tbh.

thanks for the info. I will definitely get it in CA then..saving some is better than saving none

if taxes are less in New York then why would you buy in California?

best case in ny I save .25% (4+3) so I might as well buy them in california

Although I love it, America is a funny place

get it wherever you go first!!

With Apple stores out of stock like every other day, buy it wherever you see it in stock... Saving a couple bucks is just not worth it...

Wherever you plan to buy it, you should phone ahead. There are alot of apple stores that are out of stock. AT&T stores has them but you need to sign a 2 year contract.

indeed you are right.
I checked out several stores in the bay area (palo alto, san jose and SF) but no luck.
I still have to go at apple HQ in cupertino and I really hope to find some
