It's cool because it is expensive so it is a status symbol. Just like wearing expensive jewelry is cool.
I don't need people to think I'm cook if that is their criteria.
Or get a fold phone if you want to burn money 💰
y'all people that keep saying 'status symbol' or 'expensive' really haven't bought a phone in like a decade, right? because android phones are costing the same as apple flagships. how ignorant can you be?
Why do you think the prices rose? Maybe a little inflation but also because they wanted to be perceived as as good or better than the iPhone. So they had to match or exceed the price.
And this price match won't change consumer perception overnight. Apple already had the "premium" perception and it will stick around for a long while.
