Assembling a set of top-of-the-line Apple equipment in Brazil may require an investment close to R$ 57 thousand. The final cost varies considerably depending on the selected phone model: the set becomes more expensive with the iPhone Duo, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max reduces the value to just over R$ 25 thousand.
The comparative analysis covers the smartphone, the Apple Watch Ultra 4, and the AirPods 5. Additionally, the cost of including the Mac Mini Ultra in this ecosystem is presented.
Scenario with iPhone Duo
The first scenario combines the 2 TB iPhone Duo, the Apple Watch Ultra 4, and the AirPods 5 with a Wireless Charging Case. The sum of these items reaches R$ 43,197.
The iPhone Duo is highlighted as Apple's first foldable smartphone. This device features two Super Retina XDR displays, a Grade 5 titanium structure, uses the A20 Pro chip, and runs on iOS 27. The 2 TB capacity version is the most expensive option, costing R$ 30,999.
Scenario with iPhone 18 Pro Max
In the second scenario, the foldable device is replaced by the iPhone 18 Pro Max. This model starts at R$ 12,999, features a 6.9-inch screen, is equipped with the A20 Pro chip manufactured using a 2-nanometer process, and has a 48 MP Fusion main camera with mechanical variable aperture.
Keeping the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5, the total cost of this second arrangement is R$ 25,197. The disparity between the two sets is R$ 18 thousand, with this difference being mainly attributed to the price of the iPhone Duo.
In both cases, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 incorporates features aimed at extreme sports and outdoor activities. The watch supports up to 45 hours of uninterrupted exercise in Max Extended Workout mode, records GPS data every second, and monitors heart rate every five seconds.
The AirPods 5 complete the ecosystem by offering active noise cancellation in an open design. The version that includes the Wireless Charging Case costs R$ 1,699 and also provides features such as Live Translation.
For those who wish to expand the ecosystem beyond portable devices, the Mac Mini Ultra costs R$ 69,999. When adding the computer, the costs of the two scenarios change. Without the computer, the distinction between opting for the foldable or the iPhone 18 Pro Max is notable: R$ 43,197 versus R$ 25,197. The Duo increases the value by R$ 18 thousand but also represents a distinct alternative within the new Apple environment.
