This research is a quantitative study using a quantitative descriptive approach. The analytical tool in this study is the Smart PLS (Path Analysis) application. The research variables consist of Romanticism (X1), Self Expression (X2), Hedonic Product (X3), Brand Loves (Y1) and Brand Loyalty (Y2) as mediating variables. Samples using the Yamane method with statistical probability methods amounted to 96 from all iphone users whose population is unknown.
