Why do women like the iphone so much?

Women, particularly teenagers up to 50 years old. They just seem so obsessed with it. For example, they always hold it in the same hand as their purse (not in the purse), and never use it. Now my mom and sister want them (even though they have zero need for one, my mom doesn't even work). Their exact reasoning for why they want an iphone when they're shown other phones for a way cheaper price that have far more capabilities is this (i quote), "I like it because all of my friends have one and they say it's so awesome, and it's pretty, so i want one too." I've been asked by a girl while using my android (i have an upgrade coming up in the fall), "when are you getting an iphone?" to which i respond, "Why should i get an iphone?" and she says, "well it's so cool, i can take pictures, use facebook, and go on the internet., and it's made by apple which is the best." I respond, "I can do that on any smartphone" she says, "everyone has it so you should get it cause it's the best." I just stopped talking at this point because i was so appalled at how unbelievably stupid this girl was. When i have my upgrade, if the iphone 5 is the best, i will get it, if not, i will get a different phone. I just hate how so many (I don't mean to be sexist, just an observation) women love/want an iphone, no matter which one or what it can/can't do, just to have one, and have no legitimate reasoning behind it. Why is this?

Because they love to have what everyone else does and jump on the bandwagon. Android ftw.

1: Because it is a fashion/lifestyle device.

2: Because it is a bit simpler to use, not to stereotype women and tech

Based upon the length & tone of your diatribe, YOU are the one with the obsession. I'm not impressed with iPhones either, but I don't take it personally. Just let the Apple people enjoy being stupid.

  • Women: My penis is about the length of an Iphone? My penis is about the length of an Iphone. I'm a 23 year old virgin and was just wondering is that considered too small, and about how long is that in inches. Don't worry about offending me, just be honest. Input from women is preferred. No Kathleen lol. Its thickness is what I would think would be considered normal. You didn't answer the question though. @silver.
  • 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 is it legal for women to shoot down men on the street? Another traffic jam today. Was going to be late for work. Called my boss and he said not to worry about it, for another woman shot her boyfriend to death on the street for looking at another women. Why is it legal for women to put down men like dogs? Has feminism gone too far? -Sent from my Iphone Time Machine Year 2033
  • Why are women so quick to join the band wagon? Ok to the people that pulls the sexist card everywhere: I'm a woman so… This is not a man thats "being sexist"… But why? Why do they? A typical girls Morning/outfit: Starbucks, north face jacket, ugg boots/moccassins, iphone case matching the outfit. Oh and that's about thousands of other girls' outfit for the day, too. LMAO XD yeah. Well, I've seen a few black and hispanic girls too. Minus the starbucks.
