Is Iphone a status symbol in your country?

not really. it's not even the most expensive phone you can buy since foldable phones exist

It is here. It generally means you have a high income or one of the lucky ones to be approved of a loan. Applying for any loan in the Philippines is like being an indian man trying to get a white girlfriend.

why is it a big deal in india? it's expensive in turkey too but not like buying a sports car.
>>
makes you think how do these jeets even get the money
are they some nepo babies living off their parents' money? or some retarded poorfags who went into debt or sold their houses just to earn some izzat? I just can't believe anyone who actually earned the money themselves would put on such a spectacle
>>
>>224876798
im pretty sure wealth disparity is hardcore in india
like 90% live in favela tier dalit shit,9.5% live okayish enoguh and 0,5% are russian oligarch tier

It's very expensive relative to the median income. To put this into perspective it costs 1.6-2.5+ lakh (don't worry what that means) to buy the new iphone in india, while the median yearly income of tier-3 (most Indians) college graduates is only about 3.5 to 6 lakhs.
So non-graduates are even worse off. It is essentially like buying a ferrari for these low income neighborhoods. They take loans, borrow money or save to buy them to flex, for status.
For premiere institutes like IITs, IIMs etc it's a different story i guess. But even they're feeling the heat. a lot of people started with 40 laks per annum or higher even, depending on the stream they choose.
This >>224877056 basically, wealth disparity.

But whenever I used to go to trips, trekking or camping with my friends we always took photos with iphone. We atleast trusted apple to take decent photos, if nothing else. So it's not like it's purely izzat farming
>>
We could basically go through the list of every country with a non-negligible Indian population and the theme would be consistent: They were brought there by elites who needed a submissive, easily exploitable labor pool when local labor asked for better living conditions or wages.

Why? Because Indians never did. They are a population that seems fully content with subjugation (even Marx noticed this).

So it’s easy to see why they were such an ideal population for the intensive global expansion era of colonial empires. And it’s even easier to see why they are perfect subjects for late capitalism now.

They are the culturally, psychologically, and physically ideal organism for the dominant system.

There’s 1.4 billion of them. They are deeply socially stratified and so expect and even enjoy inequality. Their cuisine is cheap, meat-free slop. They live amongst trash and filth with no qualms. They don’t care about the environment. Their reaction to death and abuse is blank-eyed indifference. They are physically and spiritually malleable. They not only adopt and internalize the demands of the dominant system as personal ambition, they believe this servitude makes them better than everyone else who hasn’t.

Absolutely IDEAL subjects.

You, on the other hand, are not the ideal subject.

You want to live in a high-trust society. You would shed tears if someone tried to cut down the apple tree you climbed as a child to build a data center. You want to see and experience beauty. You want your own space. You have an expectation that your living conditions will improve over time. You would not be content to live in a room with 10 other people, work 16 hours per day for pennies, and eat cheap slop.

You are a liability. Just like the Burmese and Surinamese slaves were.

And as we continue to crawl deeper into this late capitalist hellscape, you and your silly little needs will come into increasing conflict with those of the system.

Why does 4chan seethe about people buying iphones, but not about rich people buying luxury watches?

At the very least, iphones have multiple uses, and they aren't that egregious in price when it comes to other modern smartphones (2x-3x max the price of current year models from other companies).

Meanwhile luxury watches have the same functionality as regular watches, but they are 1000x the price. Pic related costs more than a 1kg gold bar.

in most tropical shitholes, going out around in shorts is normal
except if you are going to a place that explicitly bans revealing clothes like tank tops or shorts (hospitals, offices, certain gov institutions, etc)
UNLESS you mean those faggy small tight shorts like that one dutch faggot like to wear

a billion people have iphones
probably 40 in the entire world wear that watch

one is made in suicide net factories
one is made by hand in europe

one loses half its value every year
one can only appreciate

one is just a collection of very cheap microchips
one is a very precise mechanism filled with rubies and a crystal

tell me how the latest iphone is a better investment than a nice watch

>one loses half its value every year

Monetary value, not actual value. The $90,000 watch isn't going to get better at telling the time every year.
>one is just a collection of very cheap microchips
>one is a very precise mechanism filled with rubies and a crystal
You can make that exact same $90,000 Patek watch, using synthetic rubies and synthetic diamonds, for less than the price it takes to manufacture an iphone.

iPhones are mass produced garbage intentionally sold to be replaced in 1-3 years that virtually anyone in the West can buy without a second thought.
That watch is handmade.
The people buying that watch are genuinely wealthy and not making izzat TikToks about it.
The people buying these iPhones are either dirt-poor jeets taking out retarded loans, or nouveau riche jeets still with the dirt-poor minded taste, both with the sole intention of status flexing on other dirt-poor jeets.

Yes but I won’t be upgrading to 18 because it looks the same and people won’t be able to tell whether it’s a 17 or an 18 pro max so there’s no point in spending money
