It does especially when learning from the article, with Argentina's average income, earning an extra device is no small feat:

"An iPhone is not cheap in general, and in Argentina less so. The current price for an iPhone 13 is ca. 400.000 ARS, which roughly translates to 2200 USD or 1300 USD at the unofficial rate (it's complicated). With an average monthly salary of 427 USD (according to Numbeo) you can see that getting a new iPhone is not a choice to take lightly."

I thought it was rupees. Oops. The Rs in ARS doesn't mean Rupees. Less than an order of magnitude difference, though.

More countries have Rupees than I thought: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupee
