Buying an iPhone 14 is something that is not within the reach of everyone, and it is quite normal, because in the end we are talking about smartphone that costs 1,009 euros, an amount of money that for many people is more than what they earn in a month’s work. For someone who lives with parents and doesn’t have significant expenses, this might not be a problem, but for someone who is independent and has a lot of monthly expenses, it can end up being an “unaffordable” product.

In this sense, it is clear that the price matters, but each person’s salary and their obligations also affect largely on how accessible or inaccessible a particular product may be. For a Spaniard, the iPhone 14 is more affordable than for a Brazilian, and for a Brazilian this terminal is also more affordable than for a person living in Nigeria.

It was precisely from this basis interesting study World of Statisticswhere they gathered percentage of your annual salary that each person from different countries has to allocate in order to buy iPhone 14. The list is ordered from the least to the most, which means that in the countries with the lowest percentage, the Apple smartphone is more affordable.

This is followed by the United States with 1.8%, the United Kingdom with 3%, Spain with 5%, China with 12% and Mexico with 18%. Perform a simple math operation we can calculate the average annual salary, which was taken as a reference in Spain, 20,000 euros. It is not an exaggeration, as it corresponds to 1,666.66 euros per month.

For your interest, I can also provide you with data from Nigeria. In this country, the average price of the iPhone 14 was around $1,900, which means that the average annual salary taken as a baseline in this study would be around $2,800 in this country, which would be $233.33 per month.

A few days ago we told you that smartphones are getting more expensive every day and there is no doubt that the Apple iPhone 14 is an example of this. Fortunately, however, there are many of them today cheap smartphones that are perfectly functional, and which enable hundreds of millions of people around the world to access the Internet and communicate with their loved ones at a much more reasonable cost.
