Yeah, it was a random fact. Had no bearing on the point I made or the discussion with the other poster I was having. Everything you've just said above is nonsense. People in the US have significantly lower incomes on average then most other western countries. You really don't seem to know what you're talking about. At all. Yet you feel the need to insert yourself into every conversation. I won't be replying to you again, and by gods how I wish HN had a block function for people like you.

The US has the fifth highest income in the world https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/median-income-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/median-in... You mean people like me who have facts on their side?

  You don't have facts, just excessive devotion to Apple. The US might have the 5th highest income, but I said people in the US don't have higher incomes than other western countries on average. The US has a crazy skewed income disparity. It's an extreme minority making high incomes, and it certainly doesn't support your rather baseless argument. No, the reason people in the US have much more of an Apple fixation than other countries is because Apple is seen as an elite/luxury item, and due to cultural reasons everyone wants to be seen as being able to afford/own that, even when there is no truth to it. Same reason some people pay ridiculous amounts for Balenciaga t-shirts. OK, now I'm done.

    So you do you disagree with the link I posted that the median income in the US is the fifth highest. Again, you were wrong unless you can find a better citation. Because as of now, you have provided…nothing > No, the reason people in the US have much more of an Apple fixation than other countries is because Apple is seen as an elite/luxury item, Geeks just can’t stand the fact that when given the choice and have the ability, choose Apple devices and don’t care about running Linux on the Apple Pencil. Can you name one country where higher income individuals don’t overwhelmingly by iPhones? It’s definitely true in China - the largest country in the world
