I think I know the group of people you're talking about. In Nigeria we have this same kind of people who aren't really photographers or content creators but burdens themselves with always upgrading their phones every time. I think Apple is firstly a business, so they'll do everything possible to actually make profit. I think in Africa we are mostly wary of the price because of the lesser currencies we actually earn in.
Nevertheless, you've said it, almost all the phones are the same with just little changes to the camera and processor everytime and only wanting to upgrade when you don't have any use for the upgrades is absolutely crazy.
As for Apple, they'll continue doing this. They're meant to make profit and they will.

Apple has become a lifestyle now. Whether you have a use for it or not, you’re seen as old fashioned if you buy into the iPhone lifestyle. But like you said, apple is a business, so I guess this just means they’re doing their marketing well.
Hahaha I think it'll even become worse in the future, because marketing will become better and many people will be forced to play Apple's games. They're quality, so they're using this as an advantage
