Not the “Apple products are status symbols” canard.

How is something a “status symbol” if it has a 60% market share in the case of phones?

Any teenager working at McDonalds can buy an iPhone on 2 year contract or get one “free” with a contract from one of the low end MVNOs

Perhaps the majority of humans alive today don't live in a market where that's true?
