So, I had been an Android user for a long time, specifically a high-end Samsung, except once when I got a Huawei or Xiaomi as a present, I don't remember.
I recently decided to buy an Iphone to see for myself what was good about it and compare it with Android, because I had seen eternal debates on the internet and I preferred to decide for myself.
I bought the Iphone 14, paid in cash, without insurance or shit, and after a few weeks of use, the only thing I see better than Android is the camera. The operating system sucks, and has disadvantages like it sucks to copy and paste conversations on Whatsapp, or not being able to edit a word you are writing when you see that you made a mistake in a letter without deleting the whole word. The swype keyboard sucks. The same for phone numbers: if you make a mistake while typing or you copy and paste a phone number and you want to add the international prefix, you can't do it, you have to delete the whole number and write it again without the error or with the prefix at the beginning, depending on the case.
In the end, I think it's at the very least equal to, if not worse than any $300 Android, which I came to the conclusion that if Apple has managed to sell shit at a gold price, I wanted to be part of the deal and have bought Apple stock.
I know people with low incomes that finance the Iphone for 24 months and when the new one comes out they go to get it by refinancing (although they also get a discount for returning the old one).
Apple has managed with the Iphones to sell an idea of status or prestige that has no justification in the quality of the product, but in the faith that their followers have in them.
Therefore, I think it will continue to be a very good business for many years to come.
If I were you, I would buy an iPhone 14 pro instea of just 14, just saying.
By the way, Apple has an amazing marketing strategy unlikely Samsung, Xiaomi and other companies. Apple just builds one model of smartphone per year, while Samsung builds tons of smartphones with different price range, for low-income to high-income people but apple only creates one for high-income people that is often bought by low-income people, do you understand how amazingly well they are doing? You create a product for rich people but because it's for rich and poor wants to look like a rich, poor are the main income sources.
Also, Apple products have a very lightweight, easy and simple user interface, you just need to adapt because yeah, it's hard to move from android to iPhone overnight. Personally, I enjoy operating system that offers me a lot of features and options, I don't like simple UI but you know, me and you aren't their target, the whole population is their target and in order to increase sales, you must meet demand of average person and the highest % of population.
99% of people who buy Apple smartphones, don't actually need it. I bet 99% of iPhone users don't really use its full potential and their mostly used apps are Camera, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
Just have a look at Balenciaga, Gucci clothes. Wait, are they more fashionable than Pull & Bear? Hell no, they look worse but you know, people can't judge. If there are 15 people and 10 thinks that shit is cool, then 3 more people will find shit cool.
