Apple may be making money had over fist with iPhones, but it don't own one and as far as I'm concerned, short of someone just giving me one, I never will. Plus, they're just ludicrously overpriced.

Yup. Funny story about iPhones, I work for a construction company. Private contractor. The owner is an Irishman, from Ireland, very old school. It's been said by former employees (foreman in fact) that guys like this are the reason unions exist. Anyway, that's the window dressing. The guy has a very lucrative contract that's been ongoing for many years. To say he's not the most erudite, or rather of philosophical bent, fellow is an understatement but he's carved out his thing and made some decent money over the years. He and his entire family only use iPhones and they only drive Ford trucks. As far as the iPhones go, it's not because of some tech preference. He literally doesn't know what an android phone is. Why only iPhone? Because it's the most expensive. I think for many people the only reason they prefer iPhones is because they're jewelry.
