That’s the big question, cause I doubt there’s going to be huge demand for phones that cost a couple of grand in this economy.

if the people i know who who place maintaining iphone ownership above being able to afford rent or food are any indication; apple will be fine no matter what the economy is like.

    i used to lol at them too; but ever since switching to working at a community service non-profit, where they're the primary clientele; i've learned that they're the overwhelming majority of this country's working poor.

    the social workers have to employ bizarre tactics to get them to re-prioritize keeping food on the table over the social stigma of using android -- the fake temu iphones have been a godsend in this regard.

    it's easy to understand if you grew up in this country under similar circumstances.

    when i was young, i remember feeling that my family was superior over every one else in my neighborhood because we traded in a car for an x386 w internet access and nobody else had any computers nor internet access, and the behavior of the others because of it reinforced that feeling for me. i imagine that owning the newest iphone is the modern day equivalent.

    yeah pretty much, the society here drills into you that owning more stuff is how you show you're successful
