Good for you. That doesn't change the impression that many of us have when we see relatives and friends who buy Apple products yet have low incomes. I'm pretty confident they aren't doing it because of any technical superiority and they certainly aren't doing it because the devices last since they upgrade every couple of years.

Congrats on being judgmental without even trying to understand anyone else’s perspective I guess.

I've tried hard to understand their perspective and I've had to conclude that there perspective does not include the technical superiority of the devices but is driven mostly by a wish to seen to be part of the IPhone owning group.
