What's this obsession.
I do wfh and lives nearby Kakkanad. One thing I've noticed recently is that despite having lesser models than android, majority of the people surrounding me has an iphone. And this is not limited to tech or high income people - the karikku shop guy has one, the auto driver has one( he even had it mounted on the holder to navigate) and last time I travelled on a train a transgender pulled her iphone 17 pro max from her blouse to show me her Gpay QR.
I have been observing the trend for a few years and surprisingly unlike few years ago most of them were not using a 3 or 4 year old iphones like a 7 or 11. Iphone 16/17 might be the most common one followed by pro version of their predecessors.
What's the use case of such an expensive phone for the general public, getting them is not hard at all but all this just to show off or is there something else. I've tried apple and switched back to android mostly because of the lack of Customisation and AI features.
Do you guys use an iphone as well ?
