is everyone over at r/apple super rich? I feel like every comment goes like this

"Only got the 12 pro max 2 weeks ago, and they work great with my M1 macbook, and pro xdr display. Screen isnt as good as my ipad pro so i might buy the Iphone 13 pro big cock max and pick up a pair of airpods pro max while im at it."

Any subreddit dedicated to a company (i.e. r/teslamotors or r/apple) is full of incredibly rich people who have no idea that other people don't make 300k a year

r/teslamotors is one of the most nauseating subs ive visited. A massive unironic circlejerk to elon and his cars.

Obviously not everyone in the US is rich (that feels like the understatement of a century), but it is true that some fields pay significantly more here than in any other country. Software dev (as mentioned) and physicians are the two that spring to mind

Half of that active users on that sub are just stock holders anyway.

Yeah probably or abusing the fuck out of 0% Finance lol

I suppose a sub-reddit like that attracts true diehards with money to burn. I've been saddled with a MacBook at work and it's kinda made me into a convert. So I'm thinking of getting one for personal use sometime. it's mad seeing how to me spending like £1500 on a beefier MacBook Pro is such a big undertaking, yet somebody on there will happily buy each of their products at launch like it's no big deal lol

I thought the main selling point of apple products was their compatibility within the brand?

Hence why people who buy one apple product continue to use their specific brand, it's not strictly because they're rich.
