Jokes about selling a kidney apart, this is how long you have to work to buy an iPhone 13

Moneysupermarket dot com, a British price comparison site, has calculated how long you’ll have to work to save enough to buy the coveted iPhone 13.
“Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that Apple is one of the world's most coveted consumer tech brands. But just how affordable is their latest offering?” says moneysupermarket.com

The site scoured the Apple website to find the cost of an iPhone 13 in different countries and using the median annual salary for each, calculated the number of hours people will need to work in order to earn enough money to buy an iPhone 13 around the world.


The site assumed an 8-hour work day.

Here’s the finding: in India you will have to slog for three months to afford an iPhone 13.

In Switzerland, by contrast, an iPhone can be bought by working just 4 days or less than a week.

In the United States, 6 days salary will get you an iPhone 13. If you were living in Germany, you would be able to afford the glitzy gadget after working nearly two weeks.

The only country which requires more slogging compared to India to be able to afford an iPhone is Philippines where more than 3 months’ work will buy you Apple’s latest offering.

Since the site took into account both wages and cost of the gadget, it found that at $1,449, Brazil has the world’s most expensive iPhone 13. People in Brazil will pay $572 more than those in the U.S -- a premium of 65.2%.

Apple users in Hong Kong will see the least expensive iPhone 13, with the 128GB option starting at $874.

While some people in the U.S will be able to upgrade for less as a result of lower local taxes($829), the average price across the country as a whole is slightly more expensive at $877.
