Should buy iPhone 14 from Dubai?

Check the Item code. Prefer LLA (US) than J, China . You can put indian sim there but no network only name. Claim 5 % tax refund on airport if you show them for personal use.

Most probably the shop name will be city choice.

US ones won't have sim tray at all. Only esim.

Also city choice and all are currently selling iPhone higher than their Dubai official MRP. Just saw the video of their should  on YouTube.

No, he has pre-booked in apple shop direct, so hopefully it'll be UAE model only.

Not mandatory  

Guys there is a shop called Eurozone in Bur Dubai who says they will deliver to India. I have personally not tried and I am saying based on what I saw in their video. Try at your own discretion.

They say they will give Google pay number and you pay that number. But you should call Eurozone (regular call not whatsapp etc) and they will tell.
Whatever amount the phone is, add 5% VAT on it and add 150 Dirhams and the conversion in rupees should be done at ₹23 rate.

Based on this decide if you want to buy from them while sitting In India

Looks bit risky to me. I also saw the video but paying upfront such a huge amount and then if something goes wrong then difficult to catch those people. On top of that exchange rate and extra price is very high. Better if you can catch some friend or relative who is coming back in Durga Puja or Diwali.

Finally bought it from Dubai apple store.

Now it 8s difficult to get even in apple store also, and outside shops are charging too much extra money on top of official price..

To convert Indian currency to dubai one there, any idea? Indian cards are not accepted.

I think credit cards are accepted there, provided international transactions is enabled in your card..

I bought from Dubai faced no issues.
