Do you have an ipod, ipad, or iphone?
When there are so many less expensive alternatives to choose from,
people are still willing to pay much more money to purchase products with this
trademark and to wait for months to before enjoying the items. What is the
psychology behind it?
My opinion:
#1
I don't have an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but some of my friends have
iPhones. As for me, I never think of buying one. Since the cost is too high,
I'm the one who choose those less expensive alternatives. Besides, I rarely use
my cell-phone, so buying such a luxury is a squander for me.
When comes to the psychology behind this circumstance, I share the
same viewpoints with Debby and Ken. For those who purchase products with
Apple's trademark, it's obvious that they simply want to show off. When a
country bumpkin like me sees Apple's products, my first reaction is always
"Wow". And maybe it makes them feel that they are superior, but later
I think they seem to drift with the tide only.
I take a brief look at Apple's website, and find that the function
of iPhone is really fascinating. iPhone is a touch-screen phone, so the
exterior is terseness; I think it does fit in with the fashion style nowadays.
And it's incredibly versatile; people can do almost everything with this light
and handy machine. I think it's another reason why people spend a lot of not
only money but also time on this little apple.

As for the girl Debby saw in Shida night market, though her
appearance and clothing are not adorable, maybe she bought that iPhone with her
own money as well (no matter what she works for). In last task, we have just
mentioned that it's easy to misjudge a person by his/her exterior.
Like Ken, I don't like touch-screen phone, either. Yet, my condition
is that I have sweaty palms. If I touch the screen, there must be sweat on it;
it's really bothered. And I think why most people would rather use an iPhone
than using a laptop to surf on the Internet is because that an iPhone is easier
to carry about everywhere; I agree that the screen of iPhone is too small, but
I think it's indeed convenient. A notebook is much more heavier, and it's weary
to take it far and near. However, I think both of the two products have their
own advantages and weaknesses.
