People will actually fly in from China to go to that mall in Delaware and buy cases of phones. They used to pay local college kids to go get them (because there was a limit), but then the store just got rid of the middle man and allowed them to buy in bulk.

Yes. But Is this still happening though. Apple has lowered iPhone prices in China, so that if you exclude any sales tax and import tax, China now has the cheapest iPhone 12. ( Or Apple is making less money per iPhone sold in China )

Part of the reason why Apple is protecting its Services Revenue.
