It's not, anymore. People with 20-30k per month are using iPhone. I work in a fintech the number of people taking loans for an iPhone is mindboggling and here I am making 1.5 lpm with a 8k Samsung M2🤣

More like desparate cringe attempt at status nowadays.

Samsung high end phone designs (apart from the fold) are not very different looking than the cheap ones. iPhone doesn’t have cheap ones to differentiate from!

It’s simple, iPhones last longer and VFM during sales considering android phones have jacked up their prices.

Samsung high end phones are equally expensive

Spending over a Lakh worth for a phone?

If you can't buy it twice, you can't afford it.  
  
 Applies to every significant purchase.

I recently visited some old friends and they all asked me 'why haven't you bought an iPhone yet'. They all have iPhones, some of them are still studying. This has happened for the 3rd time in the last 2 years.

I earn decent and can easily afford one but its very hard to make them understand that I don't need one since I just use my phone for 3/4 apps per day WhatsApp, insta, gpay.

It's just an observation that we as Indians or you can say some of us have started to associate iPhones with a person's image.

Have you also faced similar things? 

PS: I like apple products but I don't see much value being added to life using an iPhone.

Buying OnePlus 11r (45k).Will have to pay around 37k (independence day sale + exchange offer). Should I consider another phone?
Primarily want a good camera (need not be dslr level but yeah should be good). Currently using samsung f62(bad camera).
Budget: 40k
Ajkal to 40k ko hi budget smartphones bolne lag gaye hain. 😵‍💫

Looks quite well built, but as of now not a lot of real use cases as apps would be missing to cater this Pricing is only 4000 USD. Anyone apple fan planning to get it ?

Apple being apple calls it spatial computing & not a VR
