In the US almost anyone can afford the “latest phone” on a no interest payment plan from either Apple or the carrier. T-mobile doesn’t even run a credit check if you have been with them for a year.

Apple has kept the same design for 3 years. You can’t tell whether it’s the “latest” or not. You definitely can’t tell whether it’s pro or not if you have a case.

You win, nobody feels like a bigshot for having the latest phone, they buy them because they need all the new features.

You can buy an iPhone 14 Pro Max for $46/month. You can buy an iPhone SE for $18/month - both from Apple interest free.

No one is impressed by a device that over 300 million people buy a year or that you spent $46/month instead of $18/month.
