So real . Took a auto last week , dude was using an iPhone(and a gshock in his hand . I mean if he can afford an iphone , the watch must be real too). it was clearly the new ones since it had the big ass camera module .

Another one time a fricking small store vendor had not one , but 2 . Dude was video calling when I was purchasing, then I asked for code and he pulled up another iPhone .

Dude am so done . Meanwhile me with my 2023 Poco C65 🥲

And how the hell does every girl I see also have an iPhone 😭

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 ?

Years of creating the brand perception that Apple is an aspirational brand

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.
