Yeah I converted mine to USD as well.
TBH other than me needing to buy a new phone soon what inspired this topic was the price for the new iPhone. That's like, waaay more spending than I've ever done in my life for one purchase. Unless you're a power user who makes your income from being a mobile-based content creator or some such, I really find it hard to justify that price.
Though of course it should be noted since I'm in Indonesia that's a factor as well, it costs like 4 months of the minimum wage here.
