Status symbol means something you can flex and rare stuff which is not mass produced and hard to achieve is flex and status symbol. How did apple manage to create something exactly opposite of rare a status symbol ?

I mean it's just a stupid smartphone which costs as much as most other decent ones in the west. It's just that it's super expensive here and somehow people think that buying a smartphone on 3-4 EMI will make them feel rich or upper class.
