Delving into release durations: Timelines for the iPhone 17's introduction across various nations.
In a recent analysis by Tenscope, a company specializing in market research and analysis, the affordability of the new iPhone 17 has been found to vary significantly across different countries.
The basic version of the iPhone 17, equipped with 256GB of memory, is presumed to be priced roughly comparable to recent high-end models, typically around $1,200 USD or more. Under simplified assumptions, the average Indian resident would need to save half a year (approximately 6 months) of their total gross income to afford this iPhone 17 model. In India, it takes 160 days for a resident to afford the iPhone 17.
Residents in the Philippines require slightly less time, with 101 days needed to purchase the iPhone 17. In Vietnam, it takes 99 days of work, while in Brazil, it takes 77 days. Turkey residents need 89 days to save for an iPhone 17.
In contrast, residents of the USA, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway can afford the iPhone 17 in just 4 days. Residents of Luxembourg and Switzerland can "earn" an iPhone 17 in just 3 days.
The affordability of the iPhone 17 in developing countries is a concern, as it requires a significant portion of a person's income. In some developing countries, the iPhone 17 is not comparable to a weekly salary, but rather requires months of work to afford.
The analysis by Tenscope highlights the disparity in the affordability of Apple's new smartphone across different regions of the world. No specific timeframe is provided for residents of countries outside Europe. Similarly, no specific information is given about the cost of the iPhone 17 in the mentioned countries.
The affordability of the iPhone 17 is measured in terms of the number of working days required to purchase it. This analysis underscores the impact of economic factors on consumer choices and the potential challenges faced by consumers in developing countries when it comes to affording high-end technology products.
