In the West, an iPhone costs about a week of work. In Vietnam? Today I’m taking Hương to buy one — and we’re going to find out how many months of an average Vietnamese worker’s salary it really takes. 🇻🇳 I’m Quang, rebuilding my company in Vietnam after losing everything. Hương’s old phone just died — but she’s also the person who believed in me enough to put her own money in when things were at their worst. So this one is on me: a thank-you, and a new start with the phone she uses for work every day. The price tag, though, tells a bigger story — about wages here, what counts as a luxury, and what it really costs to own something that many people in the West buy without thinking twice. 👇 How long do *you* have to work to afford an iPhone where you live?
