Apple launches the latest iPhone series/ How many months of work does it take an Albanian to buy it?
The iPhone is one of the most popular series worldwide, given all the advancements it has brought to smartphone technology. According to Global Stats statistics, Albania has seen a significant increase in iPhone usage, pushing the Apple brand to gain more and more ground over Samsung, which has been the most used smartphone brand in the country for years.
Being one of the most sought-after brands, many people express the desire to have the latest model, which always brings innovation, new services and the latest technology. On September 12, Apple officially introduced the iPhone 17, which is available for purchase by consumers from today. The price of the new series varies according to the model and memory size.
The base model of the iPhone 17 costs from 799 to 999 dollars, with an average of about 899 dollars. For an Albanian with an average income, this translates into almost 1 month and a few days of work to buy it. This year's novelty is the iPhone 17 Air, a completely new model that is being launched for the first time and costs an average of 1199 dollars, which corresponds to almost 2 months of work for an average salary.
Meanwhile, the most expensive models remain the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. On average, the iPhone 17 Pro costs about $1,424, which again translates into about 2 months of work, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max reaches $1,999, requiring almost 3 months of work for an Albanian with an average income. Of course, these calculations vary depending on the income level; for those with minimum wages it would take more time, while for those with wages above the average, less. These data are only if a person saves without calculating monthly expenses. Also, many individuals operate by selling the old model and adding the cost of the difference, making the purchase financially easier. According to Apple's announcements, the distribution of the new series will continue worldwide, with dates set for each market.
