I know a lot of normies have iPhones because it's a phone and they see it as a good phone. Fair enough (shitty monopolistic behaviour and Americans' - yes, this is not a thing in my country - weird ostracisation of green text bubbles notwithstanding)

But Apple is also the brand that made phones a "status symbol".

I can very easily believe this.

There will be an upsetting number of people that buy this glorified, and much less useful, shoulder bag.

    yeah I understand your point.
    it was the year 2005, and I was rocking the tmobile MDA with a data plan. I showed folks around me the touch screen and browser and they were like NNNEERRRRD.

    2 years later they were flicking little paper wads into a little garbage can on their iPhone 3 and raising their pinky in the air as if they were the technical elite.

    Soo yeah
