    Either that or an elitist whose goal is “to appear rich”. Like, the flagship models of the major Android phones are the same price if not more, but for some reason having an Apple device is just some sort of status symbol.

      I’m pretty sure the whole “iPhone as a status symbol” thing is a thing of the past - I literally can’t remember anytime in the last 5 years that anyone expressed envy at someone owning a iphone.

      I’d argue that yearly upgrades regardless of phone brand are more of the status symbol now
