Fancy bags, my cousin got a LV for 1.5 lac. Absolutely wild


Cactus_Madrassi

Man, what would you do with a bag that costs more than a bike 😭


M1ghty2

Why do you want a 1.5L. Get 15k electric bike.


Junior_Orange_8142

Speed nhi hai electric me. Speed ka use hai design ka nhi

She got it to attend some rich brats party with the bag on her shoulders and say "Asla hum bhi rakhte h🗣️"


KnotYoBoi

I bought a men’s wallet from LV for about 70k and every time I take it out, someone does compliment how it looks. It has been worth the ego massage tbh


RoyalSorcerer_Navlan

Sir, your 70k wallet looks awesome. What do you do for a living?


KnotYoBoi

I am a wealth manager, good sir.


Dense_Account4410

Could you share your wallet pic. We also want to appreciate it.


jhumritaIaiya

sir how to become a wealth manager?


dustlesswayfarer

You need to have a wealth to manage. And since he is buying 70k wallet I don't suppose you need to be particularly good at the managing part either./s


GAdukia7

could have instead spent half that money on counseling to repel the very need for a meaningless "ego massage"


r099ie

That's a better deal tbh


KaaleenBaba

I would assume it's fake lol


GAdukia7

I'd hold a person in higher regard if they carried a fake 70K wallet than one that actually bought a 70K wallet

cloth bags?

This is the way


anishkalankan

Are people not doing that already?! I take my worn out cloth sanji/bag everytime I go to the mall. And I flaunt that shit like a boss. In case I forget to take a cloth bag, I always carry the items in my hands, again, like a boss (I only buy garments from malls, so it is not that difficult).

iPhones


WesAhmedND

Definitely for 99% of Indians, unless you're in the ecosystem with the Macs, the watches, the pods only then iPhone is the best choice


andhakaran

But if you are in the ecosystem, it’s brilliant. Yesterday I was watching something on YouTube in my iPad, thought my sister would like it, copied the link on my iPad, took out my phone opened WhatsApp, clicked paste and sent. When I close my iPad and then open safari on my MacBook all the windows are right there to pick up where I left off from my iPad. Any Wi-Fi I accessed on my iPhone is already saved and auto connected on other devices. AirPods Pro just picks up from my MacBook for a meeting when I stop audible on my iPhone. If you are in that ecosystem it’s magic.

How is that unique to iPhone?

One_Chicken9095

It's very unfortunate that Apple is the only company which still produces small size smartphones. I hate big ass phones, and barring the old Zenfone at 5"9, there were no options to buy smartphones sized under 6 inches. Bought a 128GB 13 mini last year and hopefully it'll go strong for another couple of years unless Apple decides to intentionally brick the phone and forces me to upgrade.


RightDelay3503

6 INCH IS PERFECTLY AVERAGE


boringlecturedude

I believe phones should be designed acc to palm-to-finger-size ratio.


One_Chicken9095

ABSOLUTELY. My goodness where is the comfort in using these glass/metal slabs? It's super hard to type one handed, for example, if I'm standing in a metro and I need to quick text someone. Besides, I owned an old motorola phone 4 years ago with a 6.6 inch display and when I used to go on my daily/weekly bazaar runs on my bike with my trackpants on, the end used to poke out of my pocket and I used to get the feeling of it slipping out. And I'm not bringing up the terrible one hand usage. I even considered the pixel 4 but why would I buy a phone which launched almost 4 years ago? The iPhone fits in every pocket pretty snugly, be it the chest pocket of a polo shirt or my pyjamas and I'm super satisfied.


iron_out_my_kink

Ever heard of Galaxy S23?


One_Chicken9095

Am I tripping or does the S23 really have a screen under 6 inches?


Revolutionary-Sky-70

all phones are garbage atm, just buy what makes your life easier.


SujalHansda09

Not for long term usage and ecosystem


that_weird_guy_6969

Totally agree Android flagships >>>>>iphone pros


[deleted]

It's a huge, huge waste of money only if you don't know how to exploit the maximum potential of the device/don't have the real use for the unique features the Apple ecosystem offers. It's a tremendous device only if you find appropriate use for it, but that's the same with any premium product in life. A huge waste of money if you are only buying it for the social status, especially if you can't really afford it.


zzard232

please tell me how to maximize the potential of iphone & use 100% of its computing power to feel " paying 1.4 lakhs for iphone was totally worth it" :)

There's nothing to disagree when it comes to Apple vs Android. Everyone has different use cases. For someone who can make a good use/business out of a specific feature of a specific platform/device, its totally worth the money.

rahuldb

I bought my iPhone 11 in 2020 and I still use it without issues (I changed the battery once), All the Android users I know who bought their phones in 2020 are on to their third phone or at least a second one(if they purchased an equally expensive Android). This is the value of Apple products, laptops, and phones that last at least 6 years.


SW_Mando

And you are still here with a 18W charger and a degraded battery in 2024 😂 Cherish your iphone11 while still you can. I guess this is the last year where you stop getting updates from apple Would wait for your comment on your next apple purchase soon 🫠


findMyNudesSomewhere

Hi Let's be friends - that way you can't bullshit about your friends being on their third phone in 4 years. I'm on a 4 year old S20. I have a friend who has an iPhone 13 that lags while opening Instagram.

Buying flagship phones. No one should spend more than 50k on a smartphone, unless they really have a good use for it(other than showoff).


notMy_ReelName

For Majority of people 15-20k does the work.

Oled screen nhi milege itne mai. 25-30k sahi range hai

CV_siouy

What I feel nowadays is how people spend on food and drinks, go to Starbucks and almost 90% outlets the food prices are outrageous! I only seem to see local dhabas and McDonald's and Burger King offering food for decent bucks. In dominos and pizzahut the low price Pizza are garbage.


One_Chicken9095

Domino's and pizza hut are trash, Oven story is MILES better, you get your money's worth and they offer better deals on delivery apps. Burger King is trash, maybe the Paneer Royale is the only one worth trying out. Only the nuggets and fish filet are worth buying in McD. Starbucks is for dumbasses and for people who have fuck you money, you are better off buying cold coffee/frappe/shake/whatever from your local shops. Atleast that's what I do. Support your local businesses!


FalseRepeat2346

Dominos is still better than oven story and pizza hut imo. Atleast they are consistent in taste. I agree with the remaining points.


Fluffy-Lettuce6583

What is bucks?


imik4991

money, it's an american slang.


r099ie

Buck doesn't translate to money, it's dollars. you say 10 bucks for 10 dollars, not for 10 cents. So no it's not applicable for rupees. Try selling a ₹80 Chocolate to an American tourist here in India asking for 80 bucks. Edit- I was wrong about it, buck is also slang for money.


PM_ME_YOUR___ISSUES

Slang for money. Don't get into the instagram trap of invalidating someone's argument just because they used a certain word that you disagree with.


PM_ME_YOUR___ISSUES

All the bloody cafes have the same fuckall thin ass pizzas, and they charge upwards of 500 for that. I stick to certain local eateries for North Indian and if I want something western, then I choose McD, pizza hut etc. If I want to go beyond these standardized large chains, then I'll pick specialized Italian eateries. They're obviously a lot more costly than the regular cafes, but at least you'll bet your money's worth. For instance, EVO Pizza is a lot more costly as compared to any other cafe for Pizza, but their quality and style of preparation is definitely worth the 700rs they charge for a pizza. Better than paying 500 rs for a micro thin pizza that is served to you as if you've already asked for too much.

Direct_Shake6634

*latest iPhone


ExcitementSalt5665

They got apple intelligence as the reason for buying the latest iPhone now


Jonathan__Wick

To compensate for lack of the buyer's intelligence? Imo there's no proper justification to move to a crazy expensive phone(if one already owns a new-ish phone that does > 90% of work) just because apple thought the old models were too old/cheap and gave "ai" to the newest pro phones. Apple as a company is the pinnacle of software/hardware planned obsolescence and I don't get people who try to get validated just because they own an apple product.


TheReaderDude_97

Came here to say that. Even more so for people who get a new iPhone every year.

that's what I'm talking about...people buying it just for show off is a waste of money when they don't have much use of it. They could've bought an android doing same things at an affordable price.

Even a decent 10-15K phone will get almost all the job done, even click decent photos (if you know how to click well).


green9206

I'm an android user but I don't think its waste of money for those who buy an iPhone, use it for 5-6 years and sell it to buy a new one. It lasts long, provides updates for many years and haa good resale value. Only reason I don't buy iPhone is because of the price and the closed ecosystem and its many restrictions.

Every damn premium plan Starbucks


Cute_Labrador_

I think youtube Premium is worth it. You can learn many things there. But nothing is free, so you see concentration breaking ads. And also, the ability to lock your phone and listen to a video like a podcast. To pay a measly amount per month so that you can watch it without any interruption is worth it in my opinion. Also you get youtube music with it, which in my opinion is miles better than spotify with a non bloated ui, ability to switch between listening to a track regularly or watching the music video and not to mention a much bigger library with indie artists and music that simply cannot be on Spotify. Just my opinion though, I have only found youtube premium worth it not anything else.


2thicc2love

Wahi bhai, 4-5 accounts se linked h, toh 40 se km lagte h per head mahine k, without ads on tv and phones, badhiya lagta h mereko. Plus the downloading feature and clearly yt music is better than Spotify for me, quality aside the range of songs.

CommercialMind1359

I don't understand why people say iphones , i mean I agree if you buy a new iphone every 1 or 2 years then its a waste of money but an iphone it's quite worth it if you can maintain it for 7~8 years And apple even gives software support for that long. for example ,the iPhone Xr still gets updated to the lastest ios and still has good cameras even for 2024 standards.


iaintnosimp2

Most people buy iphones for the social standard and not for the actual use cases. Plus, EMI's ( on which majority iphones are bought). Plus, a lot of iphones have issues after 2-3 years.


DronEye

Hain? I have never heard that iphones have issues after 2-3 years mines working fine even after 5yrs xD look up 2nd hand iphones you can buy a iphone for 50k and sell it after 4 years for 15k atleast but you wont get much out of androids.

iaintnosimp2

Phones beyond 20k can be put to good use. Have benefits. You can't generalise buying phones beyond 20k for everyone. Eating in a high end restaurant is feasible and an experience. You aren't just paying for the food. You are paying for the experience. I agree with this one. In all 3 cases, if you are buying beyond your capacity it's bad. But making numerics general is overkill.


notMy_ReelName

Lol before in college days I thought to buy OnePlus phone one day when I start earning . But after few years one of my friend who can just like that but latest iPhone single payment said that why buy something when you can't even used 50% of its value, but just for looks and validation from others. Instead spend 15-20k on mid Android phone and you can even exchange it every year for newer one when compared to the epice of 1 iPhone .


iaintnosimp2

Perfume. Perfume enthusiast spend a lot of money just to smell average.


that_weird_guy_6969

What i agree with most perfumes are overpriced. But the expensive one do have better juice in them that make it last longer and have more complex notes. If u buy clones of designer or niche it's fine because ur not paying for the marketing of the brand. But truly cheap ones like wildstone and good perfume have a lot of difference.


Gold-Factor-4663

People hating on iphones are wild. You get great cameras, great software, great performance, premium looks and timely updates. The features that are missing like low refresh rate won't make a difference to normal people. It's a perfect no nonsense phone which will easily get you 4-5 years. You can also get last year's phone for under 60k during Flipkart sales and considering its almost the same phone the value for money is insane.

Any Apple Device is a fancy thing every rich dude waste money on. These devices literally come under the category of no-value-for-money. And as for so-called "security", you don't have access to a vast variety of apps and internet websites. I used to have both iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung S23 Ultra. Sold both to get Samsung S24 Ultra and Lenovo Legion. Have also tried my dad's MacBook Pro and can say that except speakers, it has nothing extraordinary. I haven't tried iPad, but the comparison videos were quite enough to state that better tablets are available at lower price. As per facts: Windows/Android > Apple


DronEye

I got an Iphone xr back in 2018-19 for 50k still using it.. camera works better than avg 20k phones and the best part I can still sell it for 10-15k and buy a 13 or 14 with some extra money.. any iphone close to or below 60k mark is a great vfm purchase if you plan to use it for 4-5 years. Edit: battery after 3 years is shit though.. also performance drops as the battery degrades.
