You're projecting. I can't afford any phone I want, I use a 5 year old iPhone and my choice has nothing to do with my social status. My next phone is likely to be an iPhone too.

The op definitely defines their social status via their phone. We all know some people just prefer apple for whatever reason.

lol...projecting? so you are saying that deep down inside I really want an iphone? LOL...ok, dude...

No, I'm saying you are projecting your belief that a phone is a status symbol onto other people.

yeah, you're right...it's really delusional to think that iphone possession is a status symbol...I'd have to be insane to think that!
