The 2021 iPhone metric is based on official iPhone 13 Pro (128GB) prices as reported by local Apple affiliates or authorized resellers. Average salaries are taken from the websites of statistical offices or relevant ministries and are valid as of the date of publication of iPhone prices in a given country. Net wages were obtained using local wage calculators. "We divided the monthly salary by 21 - the average number of working days in a month. In countries where statistical offices use weekly rates, we divided the salary by 5" - explained Picodi.com.
