My friend paints houses 4 days a week average for $25/h. No fancy stuff just wall painting.

He's always packing the latest iPhone Pro.

If iPhones are a status symbol, I'm not sure to whom.

Well above the $7.25/hr minimum wage then, and still above the $15-20 estimated average hourly wage for US workers.

So iPhones are a status symbol for people like your friend, who are making more money than the average citizen, if that clears it up for you.
