People buy Apple for the status, not just the iPhone but Apple stock.

I have no doubt that rich kids in China demand a Apple plaything over anything by Samsung. This was relayed on an NPR broadcast on kids with ultra-rich parents:

"One girl told our teacher that each year at the spring festival, she might have more than 20,000 U.S. dollars as pocket money."

For a long time, the iPhones were notorious for dropped calls due to the service provider (ATT). Recently, they attempted to foist buggy navigation software on the users. When people stand on line to buy a phone that does not function well, that's what I call sick love. Never try to argue with an Apple fan boy or fan girl. Chacun à son poût. (Sic)
