If it's a wealth indicator, why does half the welfare line have iPhones?

How about Android + iPad

Imagine being this poor
Of you don't have a Patek Philippe you may as well be homeless

Nah, the average blackpoor can't afford a Bugatti. Anyone could lease a base model Escalade (and even then they still got reposessed left and right). iPhones are the same, it's a "rich people phone" that can be had for a couple hundred on a bad contract.

people who conspicuously display wealth do so in order to make other perceive their status to be higher than it actually is. People with actual high status try to hide it

yeah sorry I misread your post. that's what I get for ripping the bong the first thing in the morning.

Imagine being so poor you think a 1000 dollar product is indicative of wealth.
LMAO you probably are in food stamps.

Yet most people I know with an iPhone are part-time or broke.

I live in a 3rd world shithole and those "wealthy" people here buy iPhones with 36 (or more) months payment.

>judging people by their phones

oh the humanity!

That's not setting the bar too high.

That's good, credit score means literally nothing is you're not retarded.

Like getting in debt to buy an iPhone?

>Owning an iPhone or an iPad is a strong indicator that someone has a high income

I guess all the people in South Central Los Angeles are rich since they have an iPhone they're making payments on.

>wealth indicator
Not really. Apple is a fashion company. There are plenty of people who buy expensive shit even though they can't really affort it.

I don't have to imagine. I own an iPad Pro, btw.

I could have a car and a second house but all I do is throw my money in investment accounts and literally never eat out.
Is this what being mentally ill is like? I grew up poor. I always wondered what a steak or lobster tastes like.

When you see someone with Apple products just remember that 60% of americans don't have any savings.

>trust Apple and Google more with their personal data than the government
Legitimate question: what's the fucking difference?

Google tells you what they do with your info.
Apple lies about what they do with your info.

A second house is an investment, you'll probably get a better return than "investment accounts."

Imagine being a perpetual kiddult

Isn't it something like 70% of people finance their Apple goods? I paid $1100 out of pocket to buy my Galaxy Note 9 512GB (with a Samsung 512GB microSD card). I bought it because it's a great phone that does everything I want. Who the fuck uses technology as a status symbol?

Someone I know who lives in an government apartment and always borrows cash ,real wealth is something you can't get on finance..

so what if i own a house w/lan & rack but no iphone

I dunno, my cousin is literally on the verge of becoming homeless and she still made debts to get an iphone 8, it's more of a stupid indicator

Sure, it indicates if someone is really rich or just a poser. Only poor people, kids and trust-fund babies see Apple as a sign of status and wealth.

I'm the same, except I know what steak tastes like since it isn't exactly expensive. You can get decent rib fillet for $6 USD/kg here from butchers. That's about as expensive as I'll go for meat, and it is three or four times more expensive by protein than gluten powder or whey powder, but you don't have to eat out to have a decent steak.
The main thing about home cooking vs restaurant cooking is that restaurants you have to be able to shit out 100 plates of something incredibly quickly (Until you start to get into 2 Michelin star territory, and even then), while home cooking you can take your time relative to restaurants.
If you aren't making at least bib gourmand tier or, preferably, Michelin star quality food at home then there's something wrong. It doesn't take much.

Imagine being so poor that you can't even use proper grammar.
Youu might as well be a nigger.

It's still $750 without trading in a previous iPhone, which would have cost you already anywhere between 300-800 bones. And the cheaper the iPhone being traded in, the less they give you. It's only $479 if you trade in a recent iPhone. You only really get about $300 for an iPhone 8, you can sell it yourself and get much more. Apple just gives you a shitty deal (surprise surprise).

>people who finance a fucking cell phone

I wonder if you faggots constantly scour the web for validation of your life over a fucking phone. No one cares. The most expensive phone out there, anyone can go buy and can afford. Niggers and 13 year olds got iphones now. It literally couldn't matter any less.

Yeah let's focus on how faggots perceive us, rather than actually making money.
>that indicator is a fucking cellphone
you deserve to die.

>Owning an iPhone or iPad
Reminder that most apple users don't own their device, they lease or have it on credit.
