A Colombian worker earning the 2026 minimum wage would need about 120 to 130 days of wages to buy an iPhone 18 Pro, based on current estimates of its sales price in the country. The iPhone 18 Pro Max would require about 137 to 154 days of wages. That puts Colombia far from the most […]
In Colombia, a worker earning the 2026 minimum wage would need between 120 to 130 days of wages to purchase an iPhone 18 Pro, according to current estimates. The iPhone 18 Pro Max would require about 137 to 154 days of wages. This means a Colombian worker would need significantly more time to save for an iPhone compared to workers in Switzerland, Luxembourg, the United States, or India, according to Tenscope's 2025 iPhone Affordability Index.
While Switzerland and Luxembourg workers need only about three workdays, India requires about 160 workdays. The difference is due to varying wages and prices, with the Colombian calculation based on the statutory minimum wage and not accounting for all living expenses. Apple's official Colombian retail price for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max has not been published yet, so these estimates may change.
