Includes status symbol and ecosystem lock!

If it is a status symbol, it really ain't working for me. I must be doing something wrong.

  • It depends where. In Spain people use it for that because iPhones are incredibly expensive here compared to the standard of living. What doesn't help is that the SE/e models are also way more expensive than in the US.

    As a result it's mainly rich people and tourists that own them. Most people use budget android phones, the kind that still come with 3,5mm jacks. You still see wired earphones a lot.

So does Android, but without the status symbol, the high res screen, or the integration with your laptop.

  • I haven't found the need for deeper integration with my laptop beyond what KDE connect is capable of, and my Pixel has a high enough resolution that I can't notice pixels :)
