Another Indian city Mumbai comes fifth with 349.4 hours.Globally, the working time required to buy an iPhone 6 of 16 GB is the most in Keiv with 627.2 hours, followed by Jakarta/Nairobi, sharing the second place with 468 hours.Cairo is fourth at 353.4 hours.In contrast, workers in cities such as Zurich and New York City require on average less than three days on the job to be able to afford one.Similarly, to be able to buy a Big Mac, workers in Hong Kong only have to work on average nine minutes, while in Mumbai one has to work for 40 minutes and in case of Delhi it is 50 minutes.In sharp contrast, workers in Nairobi have to work almost three hours to buy a Big Mac.
