what kind of reverse warholian experience? Im the ONE who feels sorry for the parents who go in debt to buy their kids iphones, I feel even sorry if they break said iphones and the parents get in a depression because they can't afford to pay the previously bought iphone, moreover the fix for the trashed iphone.
Iphone users are not superior beings, you're just dumb enough to pay appel an humungous amount of money for a phone that you can get cheaper with the same specs and quality (if not greater).
Iphones are expensive outside the US especially here in Asia, about twice or thrice the price there in the US. And I feel sorry for people who think they are already part of an elite group just because they've managed to afford an iphone on an installment basis. Many iphone users actually won't be able to afford one without a contract. They even have to sell their old iphone to get the new.
