That awkward moment when Apple mocked good hardware and poor people
I completely agree with the author of the article. Apple is the real-world incarnation of the economic premise of Huxley&#x27;s &quot;A Brave New World&quot;. This was just the mask dropping for a second to pander to the faithful.<p>I&#x27;d like to add, as someone who works at K12 public high school, that I&#x27;ve seen the reality of the article played out. My building is 100% free lunch, most are extremely poor, and yet there is a sizable number with new iphones. Why? Because they don&#x27;t want to look poor or be thought of as such.<p>In American society poverty is associated with failure on many levels. We have our caste system as much as India, only ours is economic, and enforced ruthlessly with endless class warfare - largely in one direction.
