How Apple Convinces You To Pay So Much For An iPhone When Android Is Better & Cheaper

Why are people willing to spend more than ₹1,00,000 on an iPhone when they can buy a good smartphone for much less price? Apple doesn't simply sell an expensive smartphone. It builds value, creates a premium position, uses comparison, social influence, ecosystem and the excitement of something new all of which can influence how we perceive the price of an iPhone. In this video, I break down 7 psychological effects Apple uses to make an expensive iPhone feel worth paying for. You'll understand: • How EMI changes the way we perceive price • How Apple increases the perceived value of an iPhone • How positioning makes an iPhone feel premium • How comparison influences our buying decision • How social proof and familiarity influence demand • How Apple's ecosystem makes switching harder • Why every new iPhone can create the desire to upgrade And the interesting part? These aren't just lessons about Apple. They are marketing principles that any business can learn from. Because marketing isn't just about running ads. It's about understanding how customers perceive value and make decisions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Welcome to Atul Sonker. Most people see brands. I help you see the marketing behind them.
