You’re wrong tho, they are buying prestige, well at least they are buying the fashion markers of prestige
Apple has positioned themselves as a lifestyle company, not a technology company. They aren’t selling devices, they are selling accessories that have a function.
You see them as gullible, but there is a certain class of people that will only buy the more expensive option regardless of features as doing otherwise is for the common people. And the few extra hundred it costs them doesn’t even register as a blip on their entertainment budgets
And they want it to hurt you when you try and follow them, because you don’t deserve to be in their club

We are not the same
I know I’m not defending them, I think the practice is disgusting. I’m just pointing out that the hyperbole was wrong
