Apple marketing is brilliant, by almost all accounts.
<https://squeezegrowth.com/apple-marketing-strategy/>

As Apple is a marketing powerhouse, much like Big Tobacco & Big Soda is.
<https://www.forbes.com/sites/timbajarin/2021/06/02/understanding-apples-formula-for-success/>
Where Apple knows _exactly_ whom to sell to & with what messaging.

Hence, this is expected to be an intelligent conversation based on facts

Apple marketing is brilliant at targeting people who live in slums.

Racist pig Arlen. No surprise. He already others based on the statistically
suspect Dunning Kruger effect that he is incapable to realize has flaws
given his pseudointellectual tendencies.

He criticizes Alan who is an expert in teaching of car racing skills
because Arlen allegedly knows more than anyone else about everything.
Braggart knuckledragger. Arlen is the punchline of the joke he starts but
can’t finish.

Damn. Didn’t Arlen just get through ‘proving’ that iPhones are
hideously expensive? Slum dwellers can afford hideously expensive phones and
use them in preference to nice cheap Android phones, eh? Is Android so bad
that it loses sales despite being cheaper and having all of the features that
Arlen says it has but iPhones don’t?

Is Arlen on crack?

Did you watch Apple's video?
Apple is telling you in that video that they market to people in slums.

The guy walking through the slums with the yellow iPhone was wearing thick
gold chains and gaudy watches and fancy suits/shoes to pretend to be rich.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple didn't advertise him with a gold front
tooth since the only thing Apple advertised was the guy bought or stole
that phone so that everyone else in the slum would look up at him in awe.

I guess we're all supposed to just ignore that Arlen switched from
"Wally" to "Andrew" in a lame attempt to make it appear his idiotic
views are supported by someone other than himself... 😉

which video would that be?

I doubt this. And such a video would not be effective if iPhones were
truly as outrageously expensive as has been alleged. Certainly, the
effects of advertising would be limited if, in addition to being
incredibly expensive, iPhones lacked multiple commonly desired
features, as has also been alleged.

The OP, who appears to be posting on this thread with at least two
posting IDs, can't have it both ways.

it would help if this video was available. You can produce it, can't
you? And you can demonstrate that Apple is responsible for it, can't
you?

It is apparent that have nothing but contempt for the intelligence of
'slum dwellers'.

I again request that you provide this video.

[gets out popcorn]

Let’s see how long it takes Arlen to dig up the video. And then let’s see

[ummm, popcorn]
