Status! IPhone's are a status symbols. All that matters to most common buyers is that they are physically different so that people know they have the new phone.

My 150 dollar phone is good enough but no one will care that I have one. If I had a new iphone, people would look twice and ask about it.
It's all about perceived social standing.
Apple is a marketing power house 1st then a tech one.
No, I won't be buying one.
- danbolt 7y agoWould you say a Pixel 2 is a status symbol too?
- WheelsAtLarge 7y agoNot in the same way but among the techies, yes.
- fluroblue 7y agoSure, they’re largely status symbols but they still have the fastest chips on the market and compete for the best camera on the market. I think there’s tech people out there that like it just for being one of the best phones.
