One thing most of us here might agree on - beyond everything else - the iPhone is a status symbol - carrying some social value.
So one interesting question is - how can this be disrupted(by a phone costing half the price) ? Is it even possible ?
- majani 11y agoIt'll just run out of fashion with time. 10 years ago, flip phones, slide up phones and two ways were the status symbols. Fashion is cyclical, maybe we'll see the return of the flip? :)
- SonicSoul 11y agogood question. by definition status is achieved by something hard to obtain. Either based on price ore availability? I can't even think of any example of the latter. Growing up all the "cool" things were out of my reach entirely based on cost..
- petra 11y agoThat's a good way to look at it. Maybe Google can create a good $300 brand, but sells it only to people with certain qualities/experiences ? For example, if you volunteer - that could be one kind of status?
