Obtuse? Projecting

Let me play you a sad song-

There once was a poor minority boy who had bad parents through no fault of their own. They wanted to become a programmer, they got a $100 Android and started working on an app. Upon finishing they publish their app for a one time 25$ fee.

But that only reached half the market.

So next the boy bought a $1000 mac, a $400 iphone, and a $125/yr app store subscription. Lol

This is so out of touch. Check your privilege.

It's a marketing tactic. The goal is to be unaffordable, this way people create goals to buy it and show off to their friends.

This has been Apple's marketing since the 2000s.

The product quality is secondary to the price. Even the users don't want everyone to afford it. They want to be seen as unique.
