How come so many people have IPhones?

I don't get it, at least 2/3 of my school has IPhones. Even when I'm out in public I see the people who are calling and texting using an IPhone. I thought most of the people in the world (I live in the USA), had a financial problem, how can they afford the $200-$400 upfront and $80 monthly for two years?

Ha. They have financial problems due to reckless spending

I have an iphone, I don't pay for it… But I can't imagine that it would be that expensive… And my family ain't rich.

Well I have an IPhone 5 mostly because I got a really good deal. I have unlimited talk, text, and data for $60 a month (because I personally called the company and I have customer loyalty) plus they gave me the $200 phone for free. Btw I live in Canada and I have Fido.

They probably worked part-time to get it. Everyone wants to conform to society, especially self-conscious teenagers. Being 'different' is most teenagers' nightmare. The iPhone is a much coveted status symbol so a lot would work or do anything(beg their parents etc) just to have their hands on the mediocre excuse of a smartphone.

Because if you have I phone then you are Definitely fit In the society. Making you look Rich and not poor cause its so Expensive. In my country not all people buy iPhone cause we have our own brand. Yes your country i think mostly have iPhone phones.

I used to think iPhones were the best, until I discovered Samsung Galaxys and Nokia Lumias.

When I had an IPhone it costed me $170 a month.

I got an Android now which I got for free and it's on $90 a month. IPhones suck and are just cool because of marketing.

You live in America, most of the people in America do not have a financial problem.

  • Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
  • Why do so many people that own iPhones act like they are better than everyone else? Lately it seems like anytime I meet someone new, they make a point of mentioning the fact that they have an iphone, then talk about how great it is… All I asked was what time it was or if they knew when a baseball game was going to start. One person went so far as to say "if you had an iPhone you wouldn't have to ask."
  • Why do so many people have iPhones? In my opinion, Androids are better. They have more features than iOS. I only see poor people having iPhones. Maybe it's because Apple is showing them everywhere and people are thinking the iPhone is good. But technically, it's not. I see many people have one and I started falling in love with my iPod Touch again as if it's an iPhone instead of my new Android tablet. I was tricked! Androids are dying! D
  • Why do so many people have Iphones? I think there ABSOLUTE crap? The screen is tiny, it has no character, only one boring menu, the screen is dull, it COST 80 DOLLARS A MONTH and the stretched out design is UGLY. I think that even Samsung phone is even better than those overrated phones.
