The new iPhone - target demographic

Post by StroppyChops »

So, the new iPhone has arrived. Huzzah.

Who is Apple's target demographic? Women, and men who want to look like women. This, at the launch, is the epitome of iSheepishness:

It would be interesting to see a progression of hipsterishness through iProduct launches over time.



Edit: before the iSheep think that's a really good idea, it wouldn't be interesting at all. That was sarcasm.

Ouch indeed. The "contract" prices seem good though. About $200 IIRC.

Apple is the Brave New World of Religion.

Facts not a real concern, only belief of: Acceptance, Wealth, Status, Fashion, Ease of use, function, Shiney Bits.

I started with Nokia and moved to Apple and I'm still using my iphone 4 and see no reason to change while it still works. I've got the apps I use on all my devices so happy with that. As I'm not a real techy with money to burn the idea of shorter and shorter product replacements with minimal feature upgrades is completely unattractive. When I do replace hopefully the jump to an iphone 10 might yield me some tangible benefits.

But... but... it's a 6! Don't you understand that your 4 is no longer of value?
