Why does the same iPhone feel dramatically more expensive in some countries than others? It’s not just about the iPhone’s price—it’s about local wages and purchasing power. A premium device that costs roughly the same globally can represent a very different share of someone’s income depending on where they live. In India, an average worker would need around 160 workdays to afford the 256GB iPhone 17 Pro, compared with just 3 days in Luxembourg and Switzerland. That’s why affordability isn’t really a global number. The product may be global, but the purchasing power behind it is local. #iPhone #Luxembourg #Switzerland

Why does Africa look smaller than it actually is? The UN General Assembly recently adopted a non-binding resolution encouraging the use of world maps that represent the size of continents more accurately. 📌 The resolution was supported by 164 countries. The United States voted against, while six countries abstained. 🗺 The debate centers on the Mercator Projection, a map developed in the 16th century for navigation. While excellent for preserving direction, it distorts the size of landmasses, making regions near the poles appear much larger than they are. 🔹 Greenland: ~2.2 million sq km 🔹 Africa: ~30.4 million sq km ➡️ Africa is about 14 times larger than Greenland, even though the Mercator map often makes them appear similar in size. Many educators and geographers advocate for equal-area projections (such as the Equal Earth projection) when the goal is to represent the relative size of continents more accurately. #UPSC #Geography #MapProjection #MercatorProjection #UnitedNations #CurrentAffair
