Whenever the Apple introduces a new product, there is always a stir. Some customers are particularly obsessed with buying the  latest technology product, even the fact is most of the time they do not really need them but rather just the desire to show them.  I believe sometimes, an apple product is an identification of your taste, your wealth and your life attitudes.  People from developed wealthy countries might not agree with me on this.  However, I feel there is a lot of time that people would judge you based on the phone and the laptop that your are using.  In a word, people choose to use Apple products, not only because they are easy to use and very convenient, but also is a way to differiate themselves, and a way to show wealth.

A recent rumor said that the apple company is planning to release Iphone6 this year. A big difference is that this time they would make two versions of Iphone. One is made of metal, the same material that have been applied on the previous  generations. Meanwhile, the apple will also introduce another  version, which will has the exact look as the metal one, but it would be made of sustainable plastic.  This price difference would be about 100 Canadian Dollars. Although Apple is aiming at a broader global market  here, especially targeting cell phone users from developing countries,such as India and China.  However my personal opinion on this is that Apple is being too ambitious here, and the result of that might cause a downfall to the company annual profit.   The reason that some luxurious brand offer exclusive edition items is because people with certain social status do not want to wear the same attire, or the same bags which you always see on the street. They want to be classified into a special group.  Same reasoning applied to the apple’s Iphone6 here. If Apple finally launch a product that the majority of the people could afford on the planet, there is nothing special about Iphone then.  Iphone will be just like a nothing special mobile  phone, gradually other electronic brands, such as Samsung, which is already competing with the Apple fiercely in the global market，might be the winner in this game.
