In America yes, and also in Europe for example. I come from Brazil and live in northern Europe and having an iPhone here means absolutely nothing because everyone can afford it, even though it is still expensive. It’s simply that the gap between rich and poor is small, so you get to play the same game. But in an extremely unequal place like Brazil the economy works differently. It’s like a tug of war where 1% from one side pull as strongly as the rest on the other side. There is a huge gap in-between, and the same deals sometimes won’t work on both sides.
