How many workdays do Singaporeans need to buy an iPhone 16 Pro?

Latest data improved from last year's 6.7 workdays.

An average Singaporean requires 5.7 days of work to afford the newest iPhone 16 Pro (128 GB), according to the iPhone Index 2024 by Picodi.

This is less than the 6.7 workdays needed to afford the latest iPhone model last year.

Singapore came in fourth on the list. Switzerland claimed the top spot, requiring only four days of work, followed by the US and Australia at 5.1 and 5.7 days, respectively.

Meanwhile, Türkiye ranked last, requiring 72.9 days of work to afford the latest iPhone model.

The Philippines and Brazil are in the second and third-last, requiring 68.8 and 68.6 workdays, respectively.

In the US, the iPhone 16 Pro (128 GB) costs $1,302 (US$999), the same as last year’s flagship.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
