Isn't part of the reason people are spending on iPhone that they can signal wealth to friends? From what I remember Apple always sells more when then introduce new golden colors so people can show they have the new device.

Have you ever been in the Apple ecosystem? Its not perfect but it beats anything else as far as UX is concerned.

I have an iPhone and I like it. I have little need to update it even though it is almost 3 years old.

I also agree it is far from perfect but pretty good. Used to be on android but it was easier to use the same devices as my wife.

I have never seen a gold iPhone in real life, even though more than half of my friends/family have iPhones. IIRC they did better overseas(?). Not sure.

I don't think iPhones signal much (in the US at least) -- they have like 50% market share here.

Inside VR you can have a phone with diamonds for no extra $.

Thinking about it, those diamond-lacking iPhones look quite shabby, already!
