Maybe for people much younger than me. But certainly I’ve never heard of such a thing in the many years I’ve had iPhones (started with the 3).

It’s not simply an age thing. I’m in my 40s and have definitely witnessed the judgment in the dating scene.

Easy way to filter out the shallow people not worth your time

Ok, fair, I’ve been married for over two decades. I don’t get why anyone would care though.

It’s not that difficult to understand. An iPhone is a symbol of affluence, and that aspect is important to many people who are looking for a mate.

Seeems mostly a US centric thing though. I’ve never experienced this, 99% of people here with smartphones have whatsapp/telegram and use that almost exclusively, even iphone users.

No one said it wasn’t, but US is the largest and most affluent market and therefore the only one that matters. /s
