So wetin do Techno wey I no buy? Lovely camera, ram size and screen size...that's about all an average user looks out for. 80% of the apps in these high end phones remain unused by their owners for all their lifespan. Whew!

dingbang:
If the phone has the phone number of Jesus Christ I will buy it. Nonsense

See what living in a shíthole can cause

I bet you would find your statement absurd if you could earn more than it's worth in 6 working days (or 12 undecided )

Open your mind my friend

If after working for 133days to get an iPhone X, they forget to include this in their analyzes that you will have to work for another 30 days to save money to pay SARS. Because if SARS see that phone in your possession you’re automatically a yahoo boy hence” you don buy market” food don come for SARS

Guy, when I see people talking about working hard, I sometimes feel bad. The minimum wage in Nigeria is N18,000 while a bag of rice is above that. This is a yardstick for the average Nigerian. Though I can never dispute the fact that IPhone is brekete in Nigeria, I still will want to say that everything was not meant for everybody.

Go for the one that you could. Hard work has different meaning here, bros.
michlins:
no wonder. If Nigeria is a zoo then you are a gorrila.

The amount someone spends on a device is his money not yours. Work hard and ball hard too. People buy iPhone X as gifts to loved ones in Nigeria

Some slay mama's working as bar tenders collect 15k as_salaries ND they will buy pant, bra, eat, transport, buy recharge card. Buy food pay nepa bill.,buy soap, buy keep or gas, and a whole lot of boll.. Let's say she save 1k out of salary in a month multiply time 12 =12k.

Try and calculate the that's saving) 12k per year to reach 1000$ if:$ is 352N...

352/12=?

So she must do olonsho work poo to buy iPhonex..no Jupiter can stop it.. By the time she gather the money self, her breast, boobs and toto go don turn X=exhibit.

This info is so off coz the average Nigerian doesn't earn enough to save that much within 133 days. Even if you're earning a good 80K, you probably would only get to save about half which would take a longer time to save for an iPhone X

It’s another way of interpreting a good standard of living in each country and Labour/wages in each country.

Interpretation of information is what makes us literate.

So basically reinforcing nothing new or is it merely for perspective purpose. Put me out of my misery here.

Ability to filter information is a more useful skill.

The phone is just a status symbol. Apple is already richer than some countries, I will prefer if they donated some money to poor. But if the poor wants to be slaves just to add to Apple riches that explains why they are poor in the first place. Ostentatious consumption.

Europeans and Americans I think ( most) get there phones on contract, you pay a small down payment and make small small repayment monthly for like 2 years.. Ninety nine percent of people don't buy phones outright in UK.. You just need a good credit rating ..

True but we can't compare these advanced countries with us, they work hourly and they can choose to substitute their leisure time to work two jobs and even work more than 8 hours to earn more money which is a good example of income effect.

iPhoneX is approximately $1000 so they were trying to estimate howany days it will take to make $1000( 365k) in different cities using a commodity that is worth that amount and Lagos is one of tge lowest. So sad on how people work very hard in this country nd still get little pay when compared to others abroad

From: Lailasnews.com

Apple's iPhone X had a price tag of $999 (about N365,000) on launch day in November 2017 making it the most expensive version of the device ever manufactured. It was even more expensive outside the U.S. most of the time due to sales and import taxes.
Swiss Bank UBS conducted an analysis of the device's price for someone on an average wage in 15 different professions in major cities.

It found out that in Zurich which is incredibly affluent, anybody hoping to buy an iPhone X on an average wage would have to work almost 5 days straight to get their hands on the iPhone X.

For an average New Yorker, 6.7 days would be required.

If that sounds like a lot, spare a thought for people in Africa dreaming of buying Apple's flagship smartphone. In Lagos Nigeria, one of the world's fastest growing cities and the most populous city in Africa, anybody hoping to buy an iPhone X on an average wage would have to work for 133 days. This is because wages are still extremely low here.

In the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, all you need is 72 days of work on an average wage to purchase the handset.

The numbers reflect that labour is cheaper in African cities than their European and American counterparts. It also signifies the purchasing power of the citizens of these cities.

Please note that 1 working day here = 8 working hours.
