I’m curious what kind of person would come into my home and think I’m fancy because they saw my old ass MacBook Pro thrown on a bookshelf.

Or someone that saw me getting coffee and were like “woooow, that guys rich! He has an iPhone!”

Who the hell thinks like that?

Probably more like "that guy's not poor, he has an iPhone"

Then again, there are those people who claim to be repulsed by non-Apple products, which I assume is some kind of social status proxy: https://metro.co.uk/2021/12/26/owning-an-android-is-a-major-...

Unless you’re getting the really low-end android devices, you’re not saving much versus a comparable iPhone even before you account for the longer lifetime, and that’s for something you use many times a day, every day. If it’s a status symbol, it’s one of the most accessible in history - a Starbucks barista can have the same phone as their CEO for a few days’ pay, which certainly isn’t true of their food, shoes, clothing, car, or residence.

Probably just Real Hackers(tm) with a chip on their shoulders.
