there are probably no apple ads in my language on the telly.

unless you are a 15-20 year old girl or 22 year old 'cybersec expert / crypto blockchain hustler / it consultant', there is no concept of 'lifestyle' around it.

phone is just a rounded silver recangle that runs whatsap and instagram maybe.

people over 40 do not know the significance of apple tim jobs or which phone is better hui-wei, smesneng or appl

'macbook' is not something most people have used or seen outside of <1% of professions (some of the graphic/print/web design, programming), their first computer was windows 95 and if they are buying a new laptop for their apartment rental gig excel they would find it "weird" and pick the used lenovo in same price bracket instead

There's just no culture around it. People are fucking poor here. Apple devices weren't really accessible for a lot of people. Remember, every device costs at least 25-30% more in this hellhole because of VAT, and people make a lot less money too. Americans can't wrap their minds around how fucking bad things are outside of America.

No. We just aren't mindless sheep who think you need to buy specific brand of phones to get access to pussy or to signal our wealth.

How people buy a phone here in Sweden.
>need phone
>go online and look what deals providers have like Tele2, Telia, Comviq etc
>oh this one offers 100GB of data (free calls, sms/mms always included) for xxx amount per month
>look what phones they have and how much each adds to the monthly sum
>oh they have this phone on a deal with 30% off and you get a free screen protector and case?
>nice
>sign, wait 2-3 days until phone arrives
That's it. Nobody gives a shit about what brand it is. I work in a perfectly average office (63 people) and it's a wide range of phones on desks everyday.
Even our work phones that we get from the office. Last year we could choose between Iphone, Samsung and Pixel's.
>>
>>110158760
Nah.
First of all nobody cares about US intel until Trump got re-elected and threatened to start wars against Europe.
Secondly Android is also American and we don't see Apple as more American than Google even though Americans somehow seem to see it that way (maybe due to advertising?).
>>
>>110158760
I can confirm in Iereland they are only bought by homsexual poofs and ethnic minority immigrants thinking that they will gain acceptance as human with other ethnic minority immigrants if they have a crapple phone. Basically it's a gay mating call and brown thing.
>>
>>110158760
The people who buy apple products here in my cunt are
1. Immigrants. Brown people love iphones.
2. Social media whores.
3. Apple fags who's entire persona is Apple.

Anyone can afford a flagship phone regardless of brand here on a monthly phone plan so it has zero status value here.
People just choose a phone based on their needs, good deals and value.

The first thing thirdies do when they come off the rubber dingy is sell their families wedding gold to buy a used iphone. Their may be a link to the gays being obsessed with iphones like the thirdies want to let them know they are on the market for a bumming. Anywhere that deals in used phones you will find an african in flipflops trying to buy an iphone by offering his damaged iphone in part exchange. Defnitely a thirdy and gay thing at least 50%. Tim cook was a big gay, all the gays bought tghem. I have no idea why the browns love them so much, it gives status with other browns. In many cases an iphone may be their only posession other than what they are wearing.

I would have liked to give you my email address, but I'm currently on vacation in okinawa and it seems email providers hate this ip. The only email I can access right now is proton, but it contains my name so I don't want to post it here. I tried to log into gmail and hotmail, but they refuse to let me log in. Creating new accounts on web.de, gmx, posteo, yahoo is either blocked, leads me to an error page, or requires a japanese phone number without the possibiliy of changing the country code... Man I never realised how hard it is to access your own email or create a new one from another country.
You can send your pitch to dita@hotmail.de if you want, but I will probably only be abe to access it in 2 weeks. Biotech is a little bit unusual for us, but it's not like we never had a successful biotech project so I think one of them might be interested.

iPhones in Europe are not considered a status symbol, it's mostly women that use them.
I have a couple of friends with an iPhone and their justifications are either "Android is like a knock-off" or "Android is too difficult to use", they're both technologically illiterate to begin with.
Actually both of them bought a Macbook Air when the M1 versions came out, all they do on them is watch streaming shows and the rest of the time they're gathering dust somewhere, for months at a time.
Back then I tried explaining that their new laptop is faster than their old desktop so they could just get a cheap USB-C dock, and use it as their main PC, but neither did.
I don't understand normies.

Money matters yes, but it's not the only factor.
For example the UK is poorer than the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, ... but more people have iPhones. The reason is culture and higher amount of darkies.

If that was true, there would be a 1:1 relationship between iPhone usage and wealth, but there isn't.
It's money AND culture AND skin color (darker = more iPhones).

There are very few iPhones in India, but that's because it's third world. Look at Indians who live in the West.
>>
>>110158760
Literally just poorer - notice how the iOS usage overlaps significantly with median salary.

Android is usually less secure than Apple, and Apple has a fairly okay record when it comes to refusing backdoor access.

The only top tier wealthy euro ultra blondy 10/10 female I I know has always used an android phone and before that microsoft. It's fake tan duck face slum dwelling chav women with bad teeth who see them as a thing in europe like browns. In Europe they are associated with poors, browns and stupids or gays. Same category of people who's next puchase if they won the lottery would be running shoes and a northface jacket. It's the peak consumer product for the social security class.

This is the vast majority of the US now. The US is mostly brown in a lot of places and most people are poorfags who can't even go to university or a hospital without part time work as drug dealers or prositutes. America is great again.

Actual experince, had iphone in a drawer, offered it to female who did not want it as people would think she was a chav.

"Chav is a British slang and pejorative term used to describe a young, lower-class person who is perceived as behaving aggressively, rudely, or anti-socially.

Key Characteristics

• Appearance: Stereotypically associated with wearing casual athletic clothing, tracksuits, baseball caps, knock-off or flashy designer labels (such as Burberry check patterns), and heavy or gaudy jewelry.
• Behavior: Often stereotyped as uneducated, loud, prone to public brawls or antisocial acts, and associated with council estates (public housing).
• Global Equivalents: Frequently compared to terms like "trailer trash" or "hoodrat" in the United States, or "bogan" in Australia"

iphones are coded for stupid brown or gay in Europe. Just speculating but the browns and gays may like them culturally because of the urban myth cops won't be able to unlock them to see their drug dealing affairs when they are doing 'food delivery' or involvement with prositution etc. They are associated with stupids 100%

It's insane the way you guys lap up any bullshit you read online.

You read "europeans don't have AC" on 4chan and you don't have the capability to reason that maybe this sentence doesn't make any sense about a continent that literally spans from the Mediterranean to the fucking NORTH POLE.

I live in Portugal, a relatively low-income country in Europe and AC is everywhere because it makes sense for us.
It doesn't make sense to many northern countries.
