Cheapest iPhone 14 (not pro) is 30999 TL. Minimum wage is 5500 TL in Turkey. %48 of workforce in Turkey earns Minimum wage. A junior software engineer mostly earns between 10-30k TL. A teacher earns around 8-9K. But there is too much variation, inequality so numbers may be way off.
- sgt 4y agoIf it's 30999 TL there seems to be additional tax added by Turkey. I think that phone is supposed to be cheaper, like maybe half of that. How does this happen - import taxes on foreign goods?
- piva00 4y agoVery likely, Brazil has the same issue. An iPhone 14 is R$ 7599, basically double the US$ 799 price tag.
