NOBODY needs to be a billionaire

True, but people who pay for Apple when poor are making terrible financial decisions. Just like anyone who buys anything from that company, but worse.

It's a designer brand phone.

But doesn't everyone need a phone?

Maybe even a smartphone. Nevertheless an iphone is a smartphone in only 10%. The rest is the symbol. Same like cross for christians.

If bought second hand, they can be quite affordable compared to new android phones. I know I'm comparing old vs new but no one is complaining when someone has a new android. (I overpay for new android phones more often than I should)

Maybe iPhones are just for the poor middle class millionaires

*when a single mom on benefits owns a fridge or a microwave

Is this actually something that Fox News aired, or some form of satire?

When a company does it, they're smart. When a person does it, they're a mooch.

Is this an english language community now?

A chuj, niech będzie.

Capitalists when capitalist. Almost every billionaire is a capitalist.
