Good indeed! Whoever looks no farther than status symbols can be quickly skipped.

- implies that iPhones are more productive than Android phones.

That's a crapshoot of an argument. If it runs the apps you need to be productive and doesn't get in their way, what's the difference?

I'm sure my date cares how many tickets per day I close… get a life :)

If this is true, it's the opposite of what you imply. The fancier and more expensive the phone, the less productive you're likely to be with it.

My 4 year old Android device can do anything productive that someone else's iPhone 14 can do. What it can't do is play the latest games (not enough RAM), stream Netflix comfortably (small screen), or impress people with face unlock (lowly thumbprint recognition for me).

It's the most common yet worst status symbol, because it can be bought with a plan and monthly instalments, so it's easier to flaunt than a Lamborghini.

I've seen people on benefits with better iPhones than mine.

If your date judges you for having an Android instead of an iPhone, they're a terrible judge of character and wealth.
