It's hot but I'd avoid light colours on these new leather cases like the plague. I remember a member here sharing a photo of the yellow California Poppy one for the 12s and it looked disgusting.
Oh you are wrong.
The Apple logo is a status symbol. You want to show that around. Many people are even faking their older phones to look like newer iphones with fake lens attachments.Narrator:
And yet for some reason 13 cases will not fit 14 and those of us trading to a new model will have to buy a new case.
Until you grab your phone with sweaty or greasy hands a couple of times. Then it becomes brown.
I will never understand how status symbols work. Maybe somewhere in a slum in Africa it is special to have an iPhone, but in western countries there are hardly any people who could not afford an iPhone if they wanted. So if somebody thinks that an iPhone is something worth bragging about, he must be quite poor. He probably sold his car to buy an iPhone and now everybody should know that he owns one.Oh you are wrong.
Hmm, that sounds condescending.
Strangely, if you try to buy an SE or an 11, Apple has just the basic white and black. Sometimes they add in a color or two, but bare minimum is white and black. Sooooo why not with the newer phones???
That seems to be the case much more in developing countries like China, India or even the United Arab Emirates that increased their wealth immensly in the last two or three decades. In Europe and the US we are already used to that wealth. In Germany people even take you less seriously if you buy a very expensive car like a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce. Those cars are usually driven by criminals or pimps. In China the number of Prada stores is astonishing. Shanghai has some shopping malls just filled with luxury stores. In the West there are also some small luxury malls, but the ones in Shanghai are luxury malls with the size of a huge "normal" shopping mall. I have never seen that anywhere in the world at that scale. Chinese people really buy everything that has a famous brand name to increase their social status. I thing we in the EU or the US should be proud that we a pretty much over that. I always liked the fact that in the US even rich people war the same clothing like very poor people. Hoodies, Sneakers, Jeans, T-Shirts,...
And on the Pros, why can they never have a bright color? Sierra has been the closest for me so far, and that even looks light gray sometimes.
Always the first for me. Then eventually I get a color or design I like to rotate.
It's literally $33.33/mo if you would get 14PM, and they do up the price and you do 36 installments. Maybe near the end of contracts before installments, it may have been somewhat of a status symbol. And for sure the original without subsidies was.
