People “have to have” an iPhone because it’s a status symbol. Not sure how AI is going to change that.

- zdragnar 1y agoMy brother's family and my parents all have iPhones and apple devices because the whole apple ecosystem Just Works for them, especially sharing pictures. They're far from tech saavy, and telling them to "just install this on your phone and this on your computer and this other thing on your other computer" is a non-starter. None of them actually care that they are Apple products or iWhatevers. Most couldn't tell you what the difference is between what they use and windows or android. They just know to go to the apple store to get things that work for them.
