The iOS ecosystem graduated to status symbol for many, $66k average salary doesn’t really matter when society will just take whatever carrier trade in deal they can use to status up.

Yeah, many people don't see "this phone costs $1099" but "I need to pay $60 a month".

Which is not how I spend my money -- I have always purchased unlocked phones when they are on sale -- but there are too few of us.
