> Not wanting and not having a choice are two different things.

As a general statement, sure. But if we are talking about mobile phones this is a very privileged and unrealistic point of view.

According to chatgpt, 70-80% of mobile phone sold worldwide every year cost less than the cheaper iPhone.

Some people could probably stretch their budget and get the cheapest iPhone, but otherwise it seems safe to conclude that more than 50% of people simply have no choice.
