Walking down the Lebanese street you can notice that a big number of Lebanese owns an IPHONE,some of them hold their Iphones in a neckless,some others in their hands,and the rest pretend making phone calls that actually might be with 111(alfa services' number) just to show that they own an iphone.For a while you forget your location,you think that you are in New York.Why Lebanese care that much about Iphones?For a foreigner ,the answer might be because they probably have a lot of business but for me as Lebanese i assure you that most of them buy the IPHONE to create a kind of prestige or ta stay "à la MODE".Iphone is the 1st apple internet enabled smartphone with a touch screen,an ipod,a 2.0 megapixel camera,an 8Gb storage and a safari web browsing(1.9 times faster than internet explorer).It costs about 600$ in Lebanon which is a high price in a country that is passing by its worst days and an interior security unstability.This prooves that those people are quite superficial and like to show off.

hey well i agree with you !! specially here in the lebanese society some people care for their prestige, well not all the people want to show off.. so few people maybe in the lebanese society were raised to live in this way always buying new gadgets to fit with a certain community and others buy new technological gadgets because they are really into it not for showing off !!!!!!
