The age old debate. Does money buy happiness? This discussion could linger on forever, and it has. Some may argue that happiness is only found when you become an enlightened, mindful, and meditative being. Simply content with the joys that life can bring. Others argue that money buys things. Things make people happy. Therefore, yes, money does buy happiness. Despite whatever path one decides to follow, the fact is, the new iPhone 7 has been leaked and yes, it will make many people very happy.
THE IPHONE 7 BRINGS DELIGHT TO THE COMMON MAN
Unlike Abdel Wassim El Whani, many people probably won’t be throwing away their iPhones to the masses or donating large sums of money. That is because the common man is not wealthy. Of course an iPhone 7 won’t make Abdel Wassim El Whani happy, he is a Qatari billionaire. He can have everything he wants. Most likely he does not find much joy in a device that can be so easily replaced. He’d rather find happiness in charity or philanthropy. To the common man, the iPhone is expensive. They will cherish that device and work hard for it. Getting rewarded for working hard instills happiness.
WHY THE IPHONE 7 WILL MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY
First of all, it’s huge. Bigger is better, right? Size does matter, yeah? It’s no secret that America is obsessed will all things big. Big houses, large cars and tall buildings are all symbols of success in this country. It makes sense for that logic to carry over to our smartphones. Apparently, the iPhone 7 will be a different take on the enormous 5.5-inch Plus model. Taking advantage of this massive screen size will be the addition of dual rear cameras. Users can use these for optical zoom and DSLR quality photos. Surely, there will be more internal changes, but given the limited amount of information at the time, we know that it will be big.
DOES QUALITY MATTER?
Does quality define happiness? Sure, we will have a bigger, flashier iPhone 7 coming out soon. People will surely buy it, but what if the new additions are a flop? Apple hasn’t been exactly spitting out amazing products like they used to anymore. The thing is, people still buy them. The status of owning an Apple product makes people happy and will continue to do so until they are not trendy anymore. People want to own cool things, and they want to look cool using them. The iPhone will surely fulfill these basic needs of happiness.
