Needless to say, Apple iPhones still rule the market regardless of the fact that there are many other companies which are offering good features at a considerably low price in comparison to iPhones.
The craze of iPhone is constantly on a rise and it’s indeed surprising that some people go to any extent to buy one. How can we forget the popular joke in India, ‘It costs a kidney to buy an iPhone’?

In India, the cost of basic model of Apple iPhone X is between Rs. 89,000 and Rs. 1,02,000. As its affordability is a matter of concern, a Swiss financial services company named UBS has done a unique research regarding the number of days an individual will be required to work for purchasing an iPhone.
