You need to check yourself, watch your mouth, and stop discriminating against others.
discriminating? watch your mouth? check yourself?
what in the world are you talking about?
have you visited these countries? because it seems like you have no merit.
instead of giving a response, you just accuse me of discriminating and you tell me to check myself and watch my mouth?
im Asian myself, how would i be discriminating?
US, Western Europe, Korea, Japan, all these "1st world" countries are materialistic as well,
but in China, India, Cambodia, the 2nd and 3rd world countries, OBVIOUSLY since the average income is LOWER, of course materialistic objects would have a bit MORE value and have more importance in social status.
i know because ive been to these countries, not to say EVERYONE is materialistic, iof course not, you cant generalize millions of people, let alone hundreds.
but does having an iPhone help you look better infront of strangers whether it might be an employer or a woman? yes, it implies you have money (in these 2nd-3rd world countries) like a the same way if you drive a nice car and wear an expensive suit.
i should have worded my previous post, it was a bit rash with word, i apologize for that.
but nothing ive said hasnt been fact. china is like 1930s america, money talks, basically as well as india. china of course is going to be the biggest consumer in the world, but ethics is still isnt up to par with its western adversaries.
if you do business in these countries, its a necessity you have to bribe. its a societal norm. very hard to do business there without bribing, not sure if any foreign company has done that before. lol.
but to say that Apple is irrelevant in the Asian market is flat out wrong. ive already said this in the previous post, android sell because they are cheap, the average citizen isnt going to be able to afford an iphone or ipad.
once apple has a solution to make it cheaper in foreign nations, theyll take point indefinitely.
shanghainese love apple products, and its crazy, an iPhone 5 sighting was are there, i assume because its too expensive. most people still had the 4 or 4S, and of courses 3GS's are still around too.
