Definitely. IPhone here in Spain means tourist or expat :) It's just that most people buy budget phones here. A category in which apple doesn't even compete. The SE is decidedly mid-range (upper mid range in pricing terms even, it's a lot more expensive than in the US)
Also I think people here care less about spelling. There isn't that cultural attention to detail that the northern countries have.
Compare an average street in Denmark or Holland with Spain, where fibre cables hang in a huge spider from facades, streets have potholes, paint is falling off everywhere. People here don't really care about that stuff (and I would agree)
- simonask 2y agoI mean, sure, there may be cultural differences, but let's not ignore how Spain as a country has been fucked by successive rounds of people in power making self-centered decisions, not to mention the relatively recent liberation from literal fascists. I think Spain would fix its potholes the moment it could afford to make that a priority.
