I don't get where the equivalence of "iPhone user" and "rich person" comes from.
It's $1000, most people have acess to that kind of money, even if they need to finance it and even if it is a terrible financial decision for them to buy one, many still do.
- kristjansson 3y agoIt's not the implication, it's the association. Owning an iPhone of course doesn't logically imply the owner is rich. Empirically, however, an iPhone user is likely be higher income.

I maybe do but it's at least half of my monthly income after tax & rent Worldwide, iPhone user = rich person (and also almost any American = rich person). By being on App Store, Epic had access to those users. Then they lost millions of users after Epic left App Store. You reap what you sow.
- ric2b 3y agoAs I said, it might be a terrible financial decision to finance a phone, but a lot of people still make that decision. You don't need to be rich to have a payment plan of $40 a month for 3 years.
