Just maybe the common wisdom of the HN zeitgeist that the only reason 50% of cell phone users in the US because it is a “status symbol” is wrong?

If you don’t subscribe to that notion, then it makes perfect sense to protect something that you paid $1200 for for the utilitarian value despite it making it look worse.

I’d an iPhone a status symbol? It’s barely possible to tell the manufacturer of a modern smartphone without taking off the case and checking the rear.
