The price of a 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, it is possible to find used vehicles on the market for the same price or even less.

That’s right! Although it’s hard to imagine someone trading a phone for a car, the comparison reveals a lot about the current price reality in Brazil.

Chevrolet Classic: The Veteran That Still Succeeds

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 made its mark as one of the best-selling cars in Brazil. For up to R$ 15,000, you can find versions from 2006 to 2008, equipped with power windows and locks and power steering.

Additionally, the 1.0 flex engine with 72 hp offers reasonable performance for those seeking economy and practicality. It is a robust and reliable car, ideal for everyday use, and costs the same as a high-end iPhone. Would you trade a 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 might be the ideal choice. The compact sedan, a direct competitor to the Chevrolet Classic, offers older versions, between 2002 and 2004, for around R$ 15,000. Depending on the version, you may find units with air conditioning and power steering.

However, the Fiat’s 1.0 Fire engine is more modest, with 65 hp. Even so, the Siena guarantees comfort and space, especially with its 500-liter trunk, the largest on the list.

3. Ford Ka: Agility and Versatility in A Compact Car

The Ford Ka is the fastest on the list, perfect for those needing an urban and economical car. Produced until 2009, the subcompact offers 73 hp in a 1.0 flex engine, moving a vehicle weighing only 900 kg. It’s great for the city, but you may need to forgo some comforts, like power steering.

With R$ 15,000, you can purchase a more recent Ford Ka, but for that, be prepared to make some concessions regarding features. What is worth more? The agility of a car or the latest technology in your hands?

4. Renault Clio: The Underestimated Compact

Little talked about but always efficient, the Renault Clio is an interesting option for those wanting 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$ 15,000.

The 2-door Clio Campus offers the basics, but still has the option for air conditioning and power steering. Its 1.0 engine with 77 hp ensures good performance for those seeking 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 in high demand and can be found for up to R$ 15,000. With a 1.0 engine and 65 hp, the Gol stands out for its simplicity and robustness, but it’s important to be aware of high mileage and the lack of air conditioning.

The Gol is the true warrior of the Brazilian streets, offering reliability at an affordable price, even if a careful inspection before buying is necessary.

Would You Trade An iPhone For A Car?

That’s right! In times where technology dominates our lives, the question remains: what is worth more? A cutting-edge phone or a car that can take you anywhere?

With the new line of iPhones costing the same as many used vehicles, the question that remains is: Do you believe that cars are cheaper than necessary or that phones are just too expensive?

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

With only R$ 50 in his pocket and a dream, the 26-year-old Tocantins native Willian Gomes left Tocantins and has already cycled over 4,000 kilometers towards Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina, without accepting a single ride in eight months.

Has the war with artificial intelligence already begun? The US Army tests armed robots in the Moroccan desert, uses drones with explosives, and showcases a system capable of reducing military decisions from hours to just 3 minutes.

The invisible flaw that protects banks, passwords, and messages may be numbered after a quantum experiment transforms imperfect randomness into numbers impossible to predict.

The labor shortage has changed its face in Brazil: companies hire 80% more, but workers stay only 6.8 months in the job, the service market becomes a “revolving door,” and businesses spend increasingly more to train teams that soon leave.
