For me, the individual plan costs ¥1200 ($7.45 / 6,50€) per month (regardless though, they all offer the same thing worldwide such as 50GB iCloud storage, access to Apple TV, Music and Arcade) with the difference involving regional pricing for the same subscription.

Is paying $/€19.95 per month for Apple One worth the money when you factor CoL and minimum wage? Also, does Apple TV really have any good shows to watch? There are higher subscription tiers for Apple One (family or premier) but I won't be discussing those.

Apple One bundles pretty much everything (iCloud, Apple TV, Arcade or Music) into a single subscription where it costs A$24.95 per month (WTF?!). Guess what, the same is only ¥1200 (A$10.60) in Japan and ₹195 (A$2.85) per month in India. I would suspect regional pricing is taken into account, so they perhaps reduced the cost specifically for both markets knowing salaries are less. I swear, the one in Australia is just expensive as F (the only way is to opt out of using Australia as the region by changing it to somewhere "cheaper").

The only “way” to really avoid it is renouncing the American passport (if they are a naturalized citizen of the country they have moved to first). Like this: the individual has moved abroad to another country under an US passport at first, but they still owe taxes to the US government despite them not physically being there even though they’re earning a foreign paycheck (until they surrender their passport for another not considering dual citizenship).

Why don’t digital nomads consider naturalization rather than living under a Golden Visa? I know that Portugal or Spain for instance is popular towards digital nomads, but should they renounce their American passport into becoming a Spanish or Portuguese citizen? Also, why don’t Western expats living in Dubai consider Emirati citizenship (they do not recognize dual citizenship, though) if they consider the UAE their new home?
