A lot of people. Some buy more than one. Apple is like Porsche. It shows your status.

So tired of hearing this argument. What ever happened to just wanting a reliable phone that works well? Many Android -> iPhone users have been burned by the numerous amounts of garbage that has come out of that ecosystem over the years. Its not always about "status symbol". Hell the cheapest iPhone is 429$ today. And that gets you their top of the line CPU that essentially blows away Android at any price. This isn't "status symbol" just immense value.

iPhone is not status. A diamond-crusted case for the iPhoneis status.
