Well considering here in Czechia (the country that's 90% "middle of fucking nowhere") it's scary that a third of active phones are iPhones, how does anyone except the people living in big cities afford this shit? People around me are getting iPhones, but it's always like 4-5 year old 11s and 12s, literally the shittiest investment you can do
Also can't wait in a couple of years when this number will probably go up and iMessage will take over any other messaging app
I got a phone that's 2/3s of the price, started on android 13, got 14 recently, yeah it's the same but the advantage of it being newer means I have a bigger battery, 90hz display, and more that you just don't get with a 4-5 year old phone
