Europeians need to use almost 30% of their annual salary to buy an iPhone 14

According to a survey released this week, Europeians need to accumulate almost 28% of their annual salary to buy an iPhone 14.

In the general ranking, Europe is in the sixth position, since Nigeria leads the list of the most expensive iPhones. Over there, an iPhone 14 costs 69% of the average annual salary.

In India, around 42% is required, while in Indonesia this figure drops to 39%. At the other end, you only need 1.8% of your annual salary to buy an iPhone 14 in the United States and 18% in Mexico, which is a country more like ours.

Anyway, the numbers end up justifying why Europe is a country where the overwhelming majority has Android.

Samsung may launch Galaxy S23 FE in 2023

According to the latest rumors, after dropping the S22 FE due to supply shortages, Samsung apparently wants to release the Galaxy S23 FE.

The presentation of the device could happen in the second half of the year and everything indicates that the S23 FE will be a kind of replacement for the canceled Galaxy A74.

And maybe that’s even why Samsung also intends to sell the S23 FE in more countries, as a way to overcome the flop of the Galaxy S21 FE, which did not reach its sales target as the Galaxy S20 FE did.

For now, there are still no specifications and no more details about the S23 FE, but market analysts say that Samsung wants to avoid cannibalizing its premium intermediaries.

With this, it is basically certain that the Galaxy A74 is really dead, but of course, it is still necessary to wait for an official position from the manufacturer, since it remains completely silent on the subject.
