Nexus 6P isn't even available in my country (Brazil) other than in Ebay-like places. iPhones 5/6/7 on the other hand, are everywhere, even if they cost a kidney. Nobody outside bubble wants a Nexus 6P. There are hundreds or thousands of fitness people making a living on Instagram, promoting healthy products mixed with booty shots. 99% percent of them have an iPhone as the only tool they need to do their job.

  No - everybody wants an iPhone. Everybody has an Android, which they probably paid 200 to 300 USD in 6 to 12 monthly parcels. An iPhone 7 costs 3 to 4 monthly "minimum wages" (300 USD) here. I was talking about trend setters, media people, higher class, and elites...

why do you care what some people on instagram are using? i don't get this sheepish mentality. you can get gazillion variants of android devices from 150 to 800 USD, with massive screens, 8 core cpu and 4 gb of memory, dual sims, memory card slot, 3.5mm jack and so on. or go apple, but FFS do it because it suits you and your budget, not because of some crappy instagram healthy people

Yeah, while Google, Apple and formerly Motorola refuse to properly sell their phones we are enjoying hundreds of Chinese and Korean models, some of them even better than those phones from Default Country.
