not at all

when i was in high school kids had iphones because they liked them and kids had androids because they liked them

everyone thinks kids do shit for status or clout and not just because we want to and make a choice of our own

lots of kids bought airpods because they work well not because they look cool or whatever

the kids who bragged about having the latest iphone were laughed at and the same went for android kids

Signaling and making “free choices” are not mutually exclusive.

iPhones are definitely about clout & wealth signaling. Moving from where I did in the south to affluent areas of Boston, it was iPhones and Canada goose jackets as far as the eye could see.
