      You’re wrong tho, they are buying prestige, well at least they are buying the fashion markers of prestige

      Apple has positioned themselves as a lifestyle company, not a technology company. They aren’t selling devices, they are selling accessories that have a function.

      You see them as gullible, but there is a certain class of people that will only buy the more expensive option regardless of features as doing otherwise is for the common people. And the few extra hundred it costs them doesn’t even register as a blip on their entertainment budgets

      And they want it to hurt you when you try and follow them, because you don’t deserve to be in their club

      What can’t you afford a 999.- stand? Are you poor or something? Of course i spend 25 times more on ram, it’s an apple, i can afford it.

      Actual apple users. I honestly don’t even blame apple, they want to be seen with the 1700 dollar phone and people need to know that it was expensive, nothing else matters.
