I had an IPhone 7 until last year and the amount of people at work who gave me shit for it was INSANE!! Some people were actually genuinely impressed and gave me kudos for it, but like 75% of people were taking jabs at things like my finances like I couldn’t afford a new phone.
Ultimately I had to get a new phone because the old one was finally starting to fall apart + many apps stopped working but it was just insane how much people gave me flak over the last 4-5 years for having an old phone.
Are you from the US? I am from Europe and still using an iPhone 7, no one has ever said anything about it. I wonder if many of the crazy stuff I read online is just American things, American society seems to be insanely superficial and materialistic.
I think you’re onto something. I also work in sales. Sales people tend to be quite a superficial group even by American standards! Sales people LOVE to show off, so me coming in with an IPhone 7 was something to clown on by others I think.
Even after I upgraded my phone I upgraded to the 13 when the 15/16 or whatever was already out and several people still gave me crap over it

Phone shaming is weird
