The real question is, how many months of monthly wage you need to purchase one. That would reveal you the shocking truth of the world.

In my country? 400 months? People don't normally buy those, besides its a sure way of getting yourself mugged/killed by criminals. It is the no.1 most coveted object and they won't hesitate to point a gun to your face so you give it to them as soon as you show it in public, at any time of the day.

Well, now with the quarantine, its probably a bit better, but after we go back to "normal life", that's what normal life is. Never carry those things in poorer countries, just like you should never wear gold as you are painting yourself a target.

If you ever need to travel, always have the cheapest possible android phone. This is another reason why you must not depend on Apple only apps like facetime; avoid like the plague. Besides you should be using Jitsi anyway.

Is it a bad investment? yes it is a bad investment. It could cost you your life.
