Sensible people absolutely do choose a phone on the basis of how they're perceived by owning that phone.
Perception has value. You can rail against society all you want, but the reality is your peers make and break you.

Personally I've never been in an environment where it was common to judge others for the model of their phone, and complying with that level of control over my life and decisions, even for a moderate social reward, doesn't seem sensible to me.
