Imagine being poor

Nah, the average blackpoor can't afford a Bugatti. Anyone could lease a base model Escalade (and even then they still got reposessed left and right). iPhones are the same, it's a "rich people phone" that can be had for a couple hundred on a bad contract.

people who conspicuously display wealth do so in order to make other perceive their status to be higher than it actually is. People with actual high status try to hide it

yeah sorry I misread your post. that's what I get for ripping the bong the first thing in the morning.

Imagine being so poor you think a 1000 dollar product is indicative of wealth.
LMAO you probably are in food stamps.

Yet most people I know with an iPhone are part-time or broke.

I live in a 3rd world shithole and those "wealthy" people here buy iPhones with 36 (or more) months payment.

>judging people by their phones

oh the humanity!

>>Nearly 187 million Americans trust Apple and Google more with their personal data than the government.
That's not setting the bar too high.
% of millennials believe their cell phone has a bigger impact on their life than their credit score.
That's good, credit score means literally nothing is you're not retarded.

Like getting in debt to buy an iPhone?
