Look, I know where you are coming from, but I'm sure you know it's not the same thing.

It's not a culture of being cheap.

Is a culture of not valuing, in particular, the Apple tax.

A huge amount of people in Europe happily overpay for their cars. In any country of western or southern Europe you'll see tons of Mercedes.

I feel like you got offended by my comment as if I was criticising Europeans somehow. I wasn't.

But in Europe there’s no apple tax. iPhones are often cheaper than the high end android phones here

Except most population gets pre-paid cards with cheap Android devices.

I would include all the European countries with exception of Austria, Switzerland, France, Germany, UK and Scandinavian countries, the tier 1 countries in income level.
