There is no doubt about the fact that Apple products and iPhone’s have become a status symbol. Although android phones have better options outstanding models and come in various price ranges and designs, yet we see people running after Apple products no matter how expensive they get.
Have we ever thought why iPhones are so expensive? Well they are expensive because they are built with components and software that replace premium technologies that were once needed and separate from the phone.
With the increase in taxes in the recent mini budget the government has imposed uncanny taxes on technology hence drastically increasing the product prices as a whole. Even after the tax rate went as high as 80k plus I still see no sales declining, people are still buying apple products like there is nothing stopping them.
I just wonder about the fact that our we as a society just running after a status symbol or are actually fulfilling our needs and requirements.
