How does people afford Apple products?

So when I go downtown or the mall, I see many MANY people with iPhones, MacBooks, and/or iPads. Most of these people are young, as in their early 20s! I'm jealous because I wish I had a MacBook but I didn't know it wa possible for those to buy apple products because they're highly expensive. How do people pull through?

Buy them on contract, I seen Verizon recently selling iphone 5S for $99, thats a really good deal. Plus when you trade in an iphone, they hold their value so well that after the first one its basically a free upgrade to get new contracts every 2 years. Other phones all depreciate and you get nothing back for them, not true with iphones.

Their parents probably paid for it or they have jobs and saved up

IPhones aren't really expensive. Neither are iPads. But MacBooks are a hell of a different story! Honestly most of them probably save, like CrAzY.

Savings.
If you talk about iphones, then you gan get it on contract from Sprint or At&T. You just go to the mall and buy it and then you pay monthly for it. Simple =]

They aren't that expensive… Apple has some kind of financing thing too if you can't afford it. And people buy Macs cause they last long, work well, never stop going and provide and awesome experience. For students, this is important since they need a reliable computer to work with for homework and assignments. I think a Mac price, iPad and iPhone are all priced okay when you consider the benefits over the cheap trashy other products.

  • Why do some people love to hate on Apple products? Especially guys. I know lots of guys who say Apple is overpriced and not that good. I have a macbook that is almost 4 years old and still works like it's brand new. Before I had to buy new laptops every 2 years because they became slow and these laptops cost the same as my mac. Also, I have the iPad and the Galaxy tablet and the iPad is way better. I'm even switching back to the iphone because the galaxy 4 is annoying.
  • Why do people like apple products such as iphones and macbooks? IN terms of phones Androids are BY FAR the superior device and also why would you spend over $1000 dollars on a macbook pro when you can get a toshiba touchscreen laptop with 1000 gigabytes worth of storage for only $699? Seriously i would like to know.
  • Why do people like apple products so much? I got a samsung galaxy 3 and my friends said I should have got the iphone 5. My phone is clearly better but everyone keeps saying apple products are better. What kind of idiots camp out infront of a store everytime a new apple product is released? I don't see what's so great about them.
  • How do people afford the new iPhone each year? Since a new iPhone usually comes out once a year and most carrier plans are for two years how can so many afford the new one? I feel like with the price of the iPhone off contract being so high it shouldn't be hard to say you can't afford it but somehow there are still so many that do… Do they know some trick to get a cheaper iPhone or what?
