I don't think that argument works for Apple products. They're expensive rather than exclusive. Nothing about buying an iPhone suggests you have better taste than other people, because mobile phones are basic commodity items these days.

Not among teenagers. I know a lot of teenagers and they judge each other heavily based on whether they have an Apple phone or not. It doesn't even need to be a top of the line Apple phone. It's the little apple on the back that matters more than anything.

Depends. I bought my first iPhone this year because iPhones average about 6-7 years of security and OS updates. I would have stuck with Android, but the best support I could find was 3 years with a Pixel (my last android was a Pixel 3a).
