**Sarah:**
Several factors are at play. Firstly, Apple has undeniable brand recognition and prestige.
Consumers associate the iPhone’s design with quality and sophistication, and manufacturers are capitalizing on that. Secondly, these design elements, like the flat edges and punch-hole camera, are becoming increasingly popular across the board, not just with iPhone users. It’s a modern, sleek look that appeals to a wide audience.
