It’s actually more like this
“Hey, how did your vacation go?”
“Oh it was awesome! Wanna see some pictures?”
“Sure!”
Takes out my phone
Completely unprompted, “man, I would never buy an Apple product, they cost so damn much”

This happens constantly to me. People see my phone and will completely unprompted mention that it’s an iPhone/Apple product and that they mention all of the reasons, mostly the price, as to why they would never buy an iPhone/Apple products. Now, maybe I am missing the social element because I don’t follow people who make their personality around the products they own. I find those people to be as boring as sports fans normies. So maybe I just miss the part of this community.
I actually use an iPhone and Android phones. The main reason to keep them separate is that I need my daily phone to be something I can’t tinker with. I love hacking my electronics, which with androids means a lot of downtime flashing ROMs and shit. I can’t be doing that with my daily driver, I need this for keeping track of appointments, bills, important calls/messages, and so on. So owning an iPhone as my daily driver is deliberately gimping myself for my own wellbeing
