    but the prices aren’t really a premium are they? They’re just standard.

    They’re standard for premium ranges.

    The thing is, Apple markets themselves as a brand for wealthy, hipster kind of people, plus iPhones are very easily identifiable. Samsung never branded itself like that and with all the different (and third party) cases you usually don’t spot them on first glance.

    We make fun of the people that buy the branding by making fun of the brand. And I usually don’t see people making fun of those who buy refurbished or used iPhones from five years or so, but of those who always have the newest generation.
