September has arrived, and with it, a new wave of desire for technology lovers. While some are eagerly awaiting the new iPhone 16, others are shocked by the exorbitant price of Apple's latest jewel.

The value of a cell phone that reaches R$15.499 may leave many wondering: is it worth investing in a phone or something more… practical? Like, for example, a car?

The answer may surprise you! When comparing the price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, the most expensive model, you can find vehicles on the used market for same value or even less.

That's right! Although it's hard for someone to trade a cell phone for a car, the comparison reveals a lot about the current reality of prices in Brazil.

Chevrolet Classic: the veteran that is still successful

Let's get straight to the point with one of Chevrolet's most popular models: the Classic. Although it was discontinued in 2012, this compact sedan left its mark as one of the best-selling cars in Brazil. For up to R$15, you can find versions from 2006 to 2008, equipped with electric windows and locks e hydraulic steering.

Furthermore, the 1.0 flex engine with 72 horsepower offers reasonable performance for those looking for economy and practicality. It is a robust and reliable car, ideal for everyday use, and costs the same as a top-of-the-line iPhone. Would you trade a cell phone for a car?

2. Fiat Siena: space and comfort for the whole family

If you have a large family and need space, the Fiat siena may be the ideal choice. The compact sedan, a direct competitor of the Chevrolet classic, offers older versions, between 2002 and 2004, for about R $ 15 thousand. Depending on the version, you may find units with air conditioning e hydraulic steering.

However, the performance of Fiat's 1.0 Fire engine is more modest, with 65 cv. Even so, the Siena ensures comfort and space, especially with its trunk of 500 liters, the largest on the list.

3. Ford Ka: agility and versatility in a compact car

O Ford Ka is the most agile on the list, perfect for those who need a city ​​and economical car. Produced until 2009, the subcompact offers 73 horsepower in a 1.0 flex engine, moving a vehicle of only 900 kg. It is great for the city, but you may have to give up some comforts, such as hydraulic steering.

With R$15, you can purchase a newer Ford Ka, but to do so, be prepared to make some concessions in relation to equipment. What's more valuable? The agility of a car or the latest technology in your hands?

4. Renault Clio: the underrated compact

Little talked about, but always efficient, the Renault Clio It is an interesting option for those who want a compact car with a touch of sophistication. Versions from 2010, already manufactured in Argentina, can be found for the same price as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, that is, R $ 15 thousand.

The 2-door Clio Campus offers the basics, but still has the option of air conditioning and power steering as options. Its 1.0-liter engine 77 cv guarantees good performance for those looking for an economical car.

5. Volkswagen Gol: the best-selling car in Brazil

Closing the list, we have the Volkswagen Gol, the best-selling used car in Brazil. The G3 generation, over 20 years old, is still highly sought after and can be found for up to R $ 15 thousand. With 1.0 engine and 65 hp, the Gol stands out for its simplicity and robustness, but it is important to be aware of the high mileage and the lack of air conditioning.

The Gol is the true warrior of Brazilian streets, offering reliability at an affordable price, even though it is necessary to do a careful inspection before purchasing.

Would you trade an iPhone for a car?

That's right! In times where technology takes over our lives, the question remains: What's worth more? A state-of-the-art cell phone or a car that can take you wherever you want?

With the new line of iPhones costing the same as many used vehicles, the question remains: Do you think cars are cheaper than they need to be or cell phones are too expensive?
