Why does everyone have an iPhone? - 2

Okay so I'm going to start off by saying I'm NOT BEING UNGRATEFUL AND I'm NOT COMPLAINING! I'm just wondering. Literally EVERYONE has an iPhone everywhere I go. At my school I don't see anyone without an iPhone. I don't have an iPhone I don't even have a smart phone I have a regular slide up phone. The reason I don't have one is because my dad is saying that it's too expensive. My best friends mom never had a job and her dad plows snow for the town when it snows 1 time a month. She always tell me that her parents can't afford to buy them food to eat dinner or they can't afford to buy her clothes… HOW DOES SHE HAVE AN IPHONE! My other friend doesn't have a dad and her mom has to support 7 kids and they lost their home and moved in with their grandma. Also I went to NYC and I saw a bunch of people on the train who were asking for money but had an iPhone. So many people at my school who always talk about how poor they are have an iPhone. I'm not bragging but both of my parents have jobs my dad is a Electrical engineer and my mom is a pharmacist. We can afford a lot of things like food and vacations. And my friends that have iPhones always tell me how much richer my family is than theirs. We're actually JUST middle class. Is my dad just lying when he says he can't afford it? How do all these people have iPhones it makes no sense?

You just hang out with the wrong crowd. Quit whining.

  • Why does everyone want an iphone? I have this phone: http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/07/11/Huawei_T-Mobile_MyTouch, Q_610_610x467.png and although it's not an iphone, I love it. Came out a week ago. I just don't understand why people want an iphone.
  • Why does everyone want an iphone 5? I honestly don't think apple would be as popular as it is if Steve Jobs was still alive. Like they say, an artist's work is more valuable when they're dead. I think people are just buying the iphone 5 because of that reason, but some people are buying more than 2. Why? Is the technology inside the phone advanced or something? I heard some people buy the phone to take it apart for the useful stuff inside, but why do they do that?
  • Why does everyone want an iphone 5 for? - 1 As soon as you buy that iphone 5 they'll just come back next year with an iphone 6 with yet better features, and maybe a satellite signal that can make calls worldwide instead of just national.
  • Why does everyone I know with iphones have cracked screens? ? DROID > iphone. I have had so many people try to convince me that iphones are better, but I love my droid too much, lol. I used to be an apple snob, but iphones are overrated.
