The iPhone 12 Pro base model with 128GB of storage has an official price of Php62,990 in the Philippines. Meanwhile, the average net wage estimate in the Philippines is Php14,999.

With that, the firm estimates that it will take an average working Filipino about 88.2 workdays to save up for the latest iPhone. That’s about three months of saving, without eating anything like the research notes. On the upside, Picodi did say that the Philippines’ numbers have improved by 8 days.

The list was topped by Switzerland, where an average wage-earning citizen will only take 4.4 days to own the latest iPhone 12 Pro model. It’s followed by the United States at 6.1 days and Australia at 6.6 days.

To obtain these numbers, Picodi’s research notes that the monthly wages were divided by 21 — the average workdays in a month. The wage figures were based on October 2020 Numbeo data and did not include other expenses. You can read the Picodi’s full report here and the full list below.
