An iPhone is expensive. No one can say otherwise, and if we still find prices that will clear bankers from the competition today, the Apple smartphone has always pushed its reputation as a luxury item to the point the company has been thinking about for years. a monthly subscription to be able to pay.
But the expense is not the same for everyone. Indeed, the iPhone, for example, is much more luxurious in more modest countries than in the West. One point that studies highlight each year is that the cost of the latest iPhone in each country is a fraction of the annual salary, and indeed the amount of work required to cover it.
You need to work more than 9 days to buy the iPhone 14
For example, we learned last year that you have to work more than 775 hours in the Philippines to get an iPhone 13. Indeed, according to data analyzed by CompareDial, Apple’s newest flagship is the most expensive in Nigeria. You have to amputate to be able to pay 69% of the country’s average annual salary.
The rest of the top 5 are made up of relatively small countries.e Kenya (63.3%), Bangladesh (59%), Egypt (50%) and Tunisia (48.57%). And all this France? While other countries are doing better, France is in the greener part of the chart. In fact, on average, you should pay 3.56% of annual salary to afford the newest Apple smartphone.
As CompareDial points out, this corresponds to: 9.26 working days, 8 hours a day. Something to put into perspective as you validate the basket.
