Like every year, the new iPhone 16 has officially entered the Indian market. But as with such newly launched products, buying it may not be possible for a large majority. Another study focuses on the number of Workdays individuals from each country need to work to purchase the latest iPhone. The results indicated that in some countries, people have to work for more than three months in order to have enough money to buy an iPhone 16.
