The iPhone Index is an annual ranking of the ratio of the cost of an iPhone to the average salary. The 2021 index is based on the official prices of the iPhone 13 Pro in regional Apple stores or authorized resellers. The experts took information on the average salary from the websites of state statistics bodies or ministries. After-tax salary calculated using local salary calculators. The monthly salary was divided by 21 – the average number of working days in a month. In countries where statistical offices use weekly rates, income was divided by 5.
