phone and your social status

My last phone broke and so I went back to the store to buy any ordinary phone that I could get for cheap, and the next upgraded phone was a smart phone, an android to be exact. The sales people told me some of the differences between that and an iphone, like the applications and the cost so I went with the cheaper. The point is that I see people with Iphones that view at as more than a useful device, but as emblem of their social status, but since other companies are coming out with smartphones it may change that. Dont get me wrong I think the Iphones are faster than androids but they both do the same tasks. Like PC or mac the same to me, but thats probably because I grew up using both of them, at home and at school, so I view it as a preference thing. I think as more smartphones become common then the difference wont be seen as much, but then it becomes about upgrading, "If it looks the same how will people know I upgraded"
