    It’s a status symbol, sure… it may be stupid and primitive as a trophy around a caveman’s neck… but we are just wired like that.

    Nothing special here.

        How is it not natural to want a status symbol? However I agree that companies abuse that to gain power and profit, I’m not questioning that.

          It may be natural to want a status symbol (although that drive probably varies wildly between individuals), but I find it sad that having an iPhone is equated to status.

          “Look at me in my expensive walled garden!”

          Disclaimer: I also dislike Google’s business practices in different ways

            I feel you. I dream of the day Linux phones become a thing, but they are not ready yet, although great progress is being made.

        Yet no single wealthy person would dare whip out an Android.

          This is a figment of someones imagination and demonstrates the entire trope is backed by people with no intelligence, but lots of competitiveness.

          Your statement is not correct. Bill Gates uses Android phones:

          Only the wealthy people who gained none of that wealth themselves.

          There are Android phones that are more expensive than the most expensive Apple phone you can get.

          Samsung Fold is 2150€ for example.
