I know someone who used to work retail and hed typically only help people who have an iPhone because theyre more likely to have money to buy something

I dont get it.... an iPhone is affordable isnt it? Anyone can just finance the damn thing

I can't finance anything. I wouldn't ever get a 1500 dollar phone anyways.

Also Iphones aren't really affordable. They never go on sale either (just like all Apple products).

Dude that cases next to me at the post office has a 21 year old flip phone and way more money than I do. Then again, my boss makes way more than him and has like 7 phones.

I sooner assume that people who get the latest model every year tend to be poor.

I assume the people with the biggest grudges against apple products tend to be the poor ones. With those who judge based on what phone you have coming in a close 2nd.

There's some truth in that tho. I've been a seller disguised as tech for Apple users. And general feedback was its easier to sell on our dept compared to windows

This notion that iPhones are somehow elusive devices is thrown to the wind when you consider that at least half the country has one. The fact that it's so common means that it's 100% affordable. I've seen iPhone Pro models from the lunch ladies who cash out my coffee every morning to folks in executive level positions. It's the affordable, everyman phone - like what a Toyota Camry is to cars. We're not talking about a Bentley or Patek Phillippe.

They never go on sale either (just like all Apple products).
Trade-in deals, bro. No one pays for the full MSRP for a phone. You can turn in your old iPhone and take off almost half (or more in some cases) the price of the new one.

its not about how much money you have, its about how much you're willing to spend. THAT is what people are looking for if they are gold diggers and/or identifying spenders for other reasons

I guess I'm a bum -- I stick with the same hundred-or-so dollar phone for years until it starts eventually malfunctioning and repeat the process.

Yeah, that's fucking stupid. Any dipshit can get a new phone by tacking an extra $30 to their bill every month.

I used to bartend and serve tables, it's really not that hard to tell if someone is wealthy, or atleast not poor 95% of the time.

You can get a brand new iPhone SE for $400 and the XR with Face ID starts at $500. Not exactly expensive compared to other phones

Even the flagships are either subsidized or financed lol, nobody's dropping full price on an iPhone every year unless you're a big tech Youtubers

People judge based on the iPhones when they start off messaging each other. Im guessing theres judging within the Android community too, since theres such a wide range of options.
