Why are Apple products considered a status symbol?

Maybe they were at some point, but why is it still considered one when everybody and their cousin has an iPhone? From 6th graders to celebrities…

"Everybody and their cousin" lol I dunno it's an outdated determinator, I've seen "poor" ppl w/ iPhones. Like how in the '90s just having a cell phone was a sign of wealth, my favorite teacher told us this, the senior's last day was over a week ago, I guess you can say I miss her.

  • Why won't my iphone turn on but it has the apple symbol on? I was going to update my iphone and when i tried restoring it all it does it keep vibrating and has the apple symbol.
  • Why doesn't my iPhone show the 4G symbol but it shows the LTE symbol? I have Verizon as a carrier, and I just aksed this question but didn't ask it right. YES I HAVE 4G LTE. I've had the phone for 2 months and have been many places with it. It only shows the circle, 3G, and the LTE symbol, but not 4G or the Edge symbol. If anyone knows why, please let me know.
  • Why are apple products so expensive? It's all repetitive. There's no 'new innovative technology'. Apple just adds stuff they purposely did not add to the previous model just to get more sales. Just like the iPhone 4s. They could have easily gotten 4g LTE connection, but it does not and that is going to be one of the 'golden features' of the iPhone 5.
  • Status Symbol for Teen Girls? In your opinion what is a status symbol for a teenage girl? (ages 13-18) Especially a High School girl? Is it a iPhone, designer purses, name brand jeans, good looks, a car, or even a nice house? What are status symbols in your school? What is a must-have for all the popular girls? Additional Information: I'm asking this question as research for a friend, I'd like to give them valid and usable advice!
