Because everyone in their circle has iPhones and they might literally get bullied should they buy an android phone. For teens, these things matter. Being part of the norm matters. When your crush asks for your number you will be dreading the green bubble because that's simply how teens work. This is seen mostly in countries where iPhone is most popular with the demographic, I mean, Chinese teens are not buying iPhones. South American teens are not buying iPhones. It's just not a cultural issue to not be able to afford iPhones. An android phone is more than capable of doing everything an iPhone can, save for interacting with iPhones. I think this strategy from Apple of encroaching society into their ecosystem has been quite successful but i am disgusted at the principle of it. Most people don't care, but they feel the pressure, they've just internalised it and called it a choice. iPhones are great, the same way Eden was great in the scriptures. Just be content with what God mandates of you and everything will be fine.
