apple isn't a luxury product they are an overprised mass market product with millions of units sold.
Luxury has a definition in economics. It’s goods beyond basic needs.
Apple is very very much a luxury. By no means are they a need. Even if you consider a cell phone a need today, there are dozens of other phones out there ranging from a few bucks up to a few thousand dollars.
You can certainly consider them overpriced, sure. That’s an opinion. What’s a fact is that they are very much a luxury, not a necessity.
