Argentina is ahead of us when it comes to brand spending. There, you need to pay US$24,117 (approximately R$117,150.00) to guarantee the entire Apple ecosystem. Meanwhile, here in Brazil the value drops to US$22,292, which is equivalent to approximately R$108,227.00.
The analysis also shows that Brazil and Argentina are not only the most expensive countries, but also the worst to purchase an Apple product, especially MacBook Pro and Apple Watch Ultra. This is because these two items simply cost twice as much as in the United States, for example.
Countries where it is best to buy Apple products
You’re probably thinking that the best country to buy into the Apple ecosystem is the United States. But surprisingly, research has shown that it is not. The USA comes in third place in this ranking. And it loses to Cambodia and Canada.
In Cambodia, a person would spend around US$9,494 to purchase the brand’s latest products. The value is equivalent to approximately R$46,124.00. In Canada, the price rises to US$9,652, which when converted to real is R$46,887.00. Meanwhile, in the United States, the value rises to US$9,794, equivalent to R$47,600.00.
Americans are more loyal to the brand
However, despite the United States not being at the top of the rankings as the best country to purchase Apple products, Americans don’t seem to care. The research also analyzed the country where people spend the most on their average annual income to purchase the brand’s products, and the USA is ahead.
According to the analysis, a worker in the United States spends about 18% of their average annual income upgrading their Apple products. Meanwhile, a person living in Burindi, Africa, for example, needs to commit 10,319% of their average annual income if they want to stay current.
There is no denying that the analysis shows a huge discrepancy in values. It remains to be seen whether these people really think that the Apple quality it’s all worth it!
