This isn’t a drag against you this is a drag against apple, the company. Their products are price hiked to an insane, impossible degree. They aren’t selling you the product, they are selling you the superiority of being able to smugly say you have an iphone. 

They deliberately built up a culture of apple supremacy (especially as a class barrier but i aint even gonna go into that), and now people are making posts like “lmao android users have a bad camera” (they dont) or “lmao android users send bad snapchats” (the android version of snap is deliberately coded to force lower resolution images in order to, surprise, get people saying that exact thing to further encourage #iphoneculture)

Iphone 6 suddenly want to $650 after the Iphone 5 was $200. Iphone X was an insane $1000 for the base model. A $200-$300 increase between generations Despite their phones lacking features as basic for smartphones as an SD card slot.  

Apple literally price gouges people just because they know they’ve developed this cult of personality and culture of paying for the logo that lets them.
