USA minimum wage isn't much higher than iPhone Air price.

$7.25/hour = $1,160/month for 8 hours of daily work, monday to friday.

iPhone Air costs $1000 according to https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare

Americans don't earn the minimum wage. You're talking about less than 1/2 of 1% of the working population. It's a nearly worthless metric (other than as a political reference to how long it has been since the minimum wage has been increased and how far behind the median it is).
