Becuase it is an entry level model in developing countries.
Think of it like what a Tesla Model 3 is for EVs - it's in this weird middle ground between "luxury" and "functional".
The Android equivalent is a Samsung A15 or Huawei Nova, and in developing markets your smartphone is your primary computing device so brand prestige does matter.
I am a fan of the iPhone SE btw - I find it to be a good mix of functional and sleek, but the screen is too small to read books so I use a Pro Max.

I can't reply, so
That's why I said

It's a mid tier model, but has a strong brand connotation outside the HN and Automotive Bubble as "Bougie".
Sure it's not a Porsche, but it's not a Corolla or a Hyundai.
- idontwantthis 2y agoHaving lived in a developing country for 5 years I saw very few SEs or minis. People there like big phones too. I’m talking from the poorest to the richest.
- dogma1138 2y agoNone of the Tesla EVs are luxury cars, the S and X might be expensive but comparing them in terms of driver and occupant “luxury” to BMW, Mercedes or Porsche EV offerings at a similar price point is a bit laughable.
