If they care about price, why are they buying iPhones? Just convenience?

It’s a bit moot without surveying users, and I’m sure those surveys exist somewhere. But I don’t accept at face value that users don’t care about privacy.

Because their friends and family also own iPhones. Also, you get higher social status from owning an iPhone. For normies, being part of the same mobile phone ecosystem is more convenient.
