I know that some of you might be a fanboy or fangirl of this piece of technological advancement you might be one of them because of various reasons which include you can afford it. The other thing is that owning an iPhone might be suitable for your work so that you can use it to also gain money from it.
But forcing to use it without any practical benefit for you is just a waste of money in my opinion. Since you will spend a lot of money, the main feature can be replaced by another brand that is way cheaper than an iPhone. Since more of the youngsters that I know now, and I know for sure they could not afford it pushing too much just to have one, is just way out of my way of thinking.
And most of them are still in school, and you can guess where they get the money to buy it. Yes, it was from their parents, who for sure don't even know the special feature an iPhone has over the Android one. All that they know is to give their kids the gadget to help them learn in school so that they will be more prepared for life in the future.
But I guess trends and everything have eaten up most of the logic and critical thinking that they should have by going to school.
