They're also needed to be in a crowd. If you other upper middle class classmates catch you using a cheap ass android device instead of the latest iPhone you could get ostracized.

Has Apple survived 40+ years selling more expensive electronics than the competition by being a status symbol? Why are adults also buying iPhones then?
Would students really be “ostracized” if they had high priced Samsung phones?
You realize the $349 iPhone SE is more performant than any Android phone at any cost.
