Comparing the Cost of the iPhone 16 against the Minimum Wages in 10 African Countries

According to Androidauthority, the cheapest handset can be purchased in China, Japan and the United States at $842, $877 and $879 respectively. Those prices in Nigeria, will, however, still fall under the “very expensive” category due to the low purchasing power parity and foreign exchange crisis which has greatly influenced the ability of Nigerian workers on minimum wage to own such gadgets. In Seychelles, Libya and Morocco, the phone would cost just about two months of minimum wage while it would take about six to seven months for Algeria, Cape Verde, Kenya, Mozambique and Lesotho.
