Apple - poor people's brand in US? SPOILERS

1. They seem to have pretty low income relying only on wife's salary and maybe some ocassional gig he could find, but I've found amazing that struggling family has Apple laptop, Apple tablet, Apple phone and everyone they called had Apple phone. Now I know that Apple products in US are cheaper than in rest of the world (same with fast junk food) but is it really brand for poor or lower middle class people?

2. Btw. the house didn't look very fancy (at least interior), but is it also normal for lower middle class in US to have quite large/deep swimming pool?

3. Did main character had some other income except advertisement mentioned long time ago or was he just sitting on his ass supported by his wife?

As much as I love Garden State and The Last Kiss was decent movie I find WIWH mediocre movie, not because of Kickstarter, not because of Jewish propaganda (seriously, who cares about all your Jewish words?? how was it relevant to teach us them? I think we had enough Schindler lists already, now for change focus on Hispanic, Chinese, Italian or whatever minorities instead of obssession with Jewish, especially since he didn't ask money from guys ruling Hollywood it seemed unnecessary), but just because it's very forgetable, it's difficult to find some memorable scene, as much as I liked his rants and attitude in beginning, later (SPOILERS!!!) it just became annoying cliche movie with expected happy ending (reunion) at death bed, soundtrack was decent but still not as good as Garden State. It's sad to see that Zach Braff didn't progressed at all in all those years and all he could shoot is mediocre pathetic tearjerker (phone call scene being probably only scene possible to remember from whole movie).

No, it isn't. And it's pretty sad that Zach has lost so much touch with reality that he feels that this is a product for everyone despite their level of income. Apple doesn't even pretend that they are a product for everyone, they know they are expensive.

That is exactly why Zach could not get any studio to back it and had to fund it through kickstarter. The guy was a huge success with "Garden State", the studios would gladly follow up a movie like that if it actually had a good script.
