fne8w2ahYoung Koreans favor iPhones over Samsung Galaxy: survey
Young Koreans favor whatever is new and cool from year to year. One year I was there everyone had iDevices, a couple years later it was Samsungs. Trendiness with electronics is a big thing.
I think a lot of people don’t see how fashion is interlinked with tech, and has been for at least 20-25 years. Or at least how people treat buying tech in a similar way to following fashion trends.
I blame Apple.
The thing I find funny is PC users laughing at Macs for years with various colors of plastic while using plain beige/black boxes, and now PC enthusiasts can’t get enough RGB
Honestly at least a lot of Apple products from 1998 ~ 2017 were actually stylish. Now Apple products just look boring and yet they’re still treated as fashion accesories, and RGB looks garish. Like, I could actually see how an iPod Classic or and iMac G4 *was * a fashion accessory. iPhone 14 or the M1 iMac, no.
