> iPhones are a status symbol in America whereas Europeans couldn't care less.
Europeans absolutely could, they're just too tight fisted to actually spend money on things like protecting privacy which is a major part of the whole problem.
They are perfectly fine spending money on luxury cars.

Users in the US don't care about protecting their privacy either.
Examples:
1. Google Chrome market share in the US
2. GMail market share in the US
3. Google Search market share in the US

They absolutely do, you just like to dismiss it as being about status.
It was similar when RIM were on top in north america. The status came because of their association with business because they provided secure messaging. High status people care about privacy and security.

No, they don't. I just gave you three counter examples.
Why is it that iPhone users prefer GMail over iCloud Mail?

Users have no understanding of security. High status or not.
