This varies a lot depending on the country and the job. How is it for you?  *The prices start from $799 and so on...

1.5 or 2 on average, if you divide my weekly income by 5. I have a small business, and my daily income varies a lot, and I might work (not counting office work) 3 days or 6 days a week on customer jobs - 7 days very rarely.

Some days, I make enough to buy a top-spec'ed iPhone 14, a few days I could buy 2, and other days I could only cover 1/3 or 1/2 the cost. Some days I make zero, even though I am doing work for the company. One of my jobs today was giving some customers a tour of another customer's yard where I did a bunch of work that is similar to what the first customers want at their house. I make nothing during that 90 minute meeting, but I will make thousands from the resulting job.

Kinda hard to say. Since I don't work an hourly job anymore. I guess it could take me anywhere from 8 hours to 3 days.

I've been thinking about switching to iPhone. I'd really like to be able to FaceTime people. Thought Android would come up with something that works well on both phones and have been waiting over 10 years, starting to feel stupid because my last phone that I really felt was worth buying was my s8, the s10 was alright at best and my s21 is kinda just what I feel like the s10 should have been.

Love Android, but iPhone seem more practical at this point.

I got my iPhone 12 for free just by adding a line to my current account. Even though the new iPhone looks nice and stuff, mine is still functional and that's all I need really.

Realistically though 1,399 CAD would take me about 2 months to earn, excluding other stuff I need to live, such as bills, car payment, insurance, etc.

A work colleague told me it's around 1 tsd € here - so for that, with deducted taxes already - around 14 days.. if I did the math correctly haha
But I would suggest for everyone to get Samsung phones lol

in my country iphone 14 costs around 3000 usd due to taxes and an average person here earns like 300 dollar. So basically an average person won't be able to comfortably afford it unless he/she spends his entire yearly salary on a phone. I am not an average person thought I am upper middle class compared to other people in my country but even me has to work for around 1 month in order to afford it.

by the way I have s22 ultra, costs close to iphone so I can always trade it if I want to...

I don't work... I just say "Yo woman... buy that shit for me" and it gets done easier than trying to make that woman make me a sandwich. I'm going to play with my PS5 now and wonder why I don't have a sandwich.

Shy_Steve · Answer

Personally I think your better off Spending it on an Android Phone instead of IPhone, But you should be able work it out by yourself.

Calculate how much you get an hour then times that by how many hours you get a day then divide $799 by much you get a day.

Pinay_ako · Answer

I have an XR. Idc about new phones. Never been a fan of getting the latest. They all somehow turn obsolete and boring until the next one ☝️

Kori1236 · Answer

Outright? I’d be looking at about $1600 for the gb that I choose and the model. But I could have it in a two week pay period. Not that I would want it though.

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Not counting taxes? Probably a week's time for me! Now ask me would I actually buy that overpriced phone? 😂 My android suits me just fine, thanks. I don't jump on bandwagons

acooke-13 · Answer

Depends on the wage, but at my place depending on what days I work (get paid extra for working past 10pm, weekends & public holidays), but just regular days would be 4 days.

Havthrills · Answer

First off, it's an iPhone. So if you make $20 an hour. 9 hours a day. Then it will be 1863 days. Once you almost pay it off, the next best comes out. They update yours, so now you have to buy the new one. Good luck.
