> Also: you probably mean iPhone 12. The 6 is quite old

I definitely meant the 6.

Minimum monthly wage (formal jobs, before taxes): R$1100

New iPhone 6: R$1700 ~ R$2400

New iPhone 12: R$7700 ~ R$10000

> Does average monthly salary mean much if the majority is really poor?

For those poor and outside the formal job market, buying a new iPhone (even the older ones) are out of reach or a very significant investment.

Off topic... but Brazil is such a wonderful country with great people. The insane import taxes are not fair and I don't think it helps the economy - rather the opposite.
