iPhones don’t have the same superiority in the US anymore, at least not in my experience. Maybe in the early 2010s when they were new and everyone wanted an iPhone, but nobody really gives a shit what phone you have here anymore.

They’re also easily accessible to most people now because cell providers will lease you a phone for some added cost to your phone plan each month, so you can get a $1,000+ phone for $20-30 extra per month which isn’t hard for many people.
