    Yeah, the anti-Apple crowd on here has this misguided notion that the only reason everyone buys Apple is “social status” - which while not a 0 factor, is definitely not the primary factor. If you’re going to be spending iPhone money you might as well get the best out there, which imo is currently the iPhone, but is an opinion that varies based on what someone uses their devices for

      Indeed, some people are a lot more status oriented than others. Obviously not us because we’re on this fringe hippy nerd site.

      So one person might buy it for status, like GP’s step mom. While others buy it for the camera, and some others for the security, etc. Not to mention combinations of those features!

      I hope that here on Lemmy we can mostly avoid the “anti-others” attitudes that plague the other place.

      If I’d be buying a practical phone I’d be buying anything but Apple. But sure, continue deluding yourself. Your bought yourself a good and fair product. Absolutely.

        I use my phone for web browsing and a barely anything more. An iPhone is practical for my use case, if a little expensive. Personally I really dislike the android interface, and that’s enough for me.
