This study employs a quantitative approach. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with a sample size of 97 respondents who are iPhone users from Generation Z. The research instrument consists of a questionnaire that has undergone validity and reliability tests to ensure the reliability of the measurement tool. The measurement scale used was a 4-point Likert scale, which was then analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solution) for Windows version 22.0. Data analysis was conducted through a series of statistical tests, including multiple linear regression analysis, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing. The results indicated that price perception has a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions, hedonistic motives have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions, and price perception and hedonistic motives simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions.
