I feel like the number of people who both cannot afford food and will buy the latest iPhone is vanishingly small. I am sure such people exist, and that is... strange, but it doesn't feel like a useful explanation for what is happening.
- pastor_bob 4y agoHow's the Iphone selling so well over the past 3 months then compared to last year, especially in face of weak international currencies? These have been rough months for the average consumer supposedly. Does the Iphone 13 have a particular selling point other than being the latest and greatest? Obviously the people aren't feeling the inflation pressure when it comes to buying Iphones.
- saagarjha 4y ago“Weak international currencies” is not the same as “people can’t afford food”.
- zimpenfish 4y agoAt least in the UK, a lot of the (quite dreadful) infrastructure around social support requires you to have internet access - an iPhone on credit with a cheap/free SIM isn't a terrible way to achieve this on a low budget. Plus you know the phone is going to last a long time and hold its value once you're done with it.
