I don't get the hype why people want an iPhone when they can't afford one?

Phone is a necessity. Ok cool, no problem. But expensive phone, oh sorry SUPER EXPENSIVE PHONE??? Not really. If you can't afford one, why do you want to buy one? EMI pe phone lena, does it even make sense? And why do you want to go over your budget and get a phone, on which you are only going to watch reels, and occasionally take some photos? If you have money, no problem. But if you are living on edge, you have bills to pay, you barely save some money, why would you in your right mind get a phone so expensive? Forget the phone, the maintenance itself requires monthly spending. Forget charger, cover, glass, apples very own services apple music, applecare, etc all those things are also going to cost. If you are not going to use those, and instead go for some cheap free to use service, get a normal not so expensive phone. You don't even have an apple ecosystem or are trying to get one in the near future. You are already not using half of the features the iPhone has, then what's the point? I'm tired of my friend's half cooked brain arguing over getting an iphone. No offense bro, but you hardly save a month half of what airpods cost. The market is so volatile. You should focus on savings for your own emergency. I don't see a need for why you need an iphone. Heck, I saw a rickshawala owning a 15pro the other day! Good for him for getting an iphone, but then how are you managing finances? Am I missing God's daily drop of money or are people really this dumb?

Iphn works good for like n no. of yrs (depends on when new iOS stops supporting version) without any difficulties. So you don’t have to change it again n again.

I used iphn 6s for 7 yrs, upgraded to iphn 11 128 GB (5 yrs now) only bcz iphn 6s was 16 GB. So longevity is good, it’s one time investment.

Mostly Signalling - just like families want to do with the car purchase. Larger SUV or a bigger brand.

I can't buy the longevity point for iphones. I have a Redmi Note 9 (top end, 16k phone), bought in 2021. Still going strong, no issues after 3 yrs. Decent/okay photos, baaki insta aur Twitter hi chalana hai.

My brother has another Redmi where he got battery life issues due to excessive use. Battery got replaced from service center for 1500.

So even non-Apple phones last really really long if you have decent specs.

I've heard really good things about the old OnePlus phones.

I have iphone 6s running from october 2016. Changed battery once, battery levels still at 87%.
So there you go with the longivity of Apple Iphone.

People who are buying it while living on the edge might have financial suicidal tendencies but it doesnt matter. You need to understand that people have been living and spending their lives like that for years now and they are still alive. So, u need to let them be what they are and how they live and you focus only on your life which is the only thing in YOUR control.

If you are going for longevity, then its good to get a phone so expensive. However, the people I know want to buy a newer iphone in 2-3 years max 😀

They are individuals who either have generational wealth to make their future secure or earning more money than you know or they are financially suicidal. Either ways, they will do what they wanna do and no one can stop them.

Why do you care so much about other people? It's their money and they can do as they wish.

Is it a bad financial decision? Probably yes. But it might be the only thing they spend lavishly. We have one life and it's better to live in the moment than to worry about the future all the time.

You do what works for you!

I mostly value it for the great pictures (I don't do much on the phone). And since everyone around has it, I don't have to worry about not having great pictures on any trip. 😂

Its the only luxury item they will be able to flaunt. Merc audi real estate out of reach. This is probably achievable. Our cook took some advance and 3 days later we see him carry an iPhone 13. I dont endorse it, but I understand why.

Longevity aspect : I have been using OnePlus 3 since Nov 2016. 8th year running. Running smoothly. Never had to change battery or charger. Though charging cable.. had to buy 2 times and might need to buy 3rd time again.
