Why is this laughably wrong? Why is this so hard to believe? Also, why would being a tech scion mean that you wouldn't want to use an iPhone? If anything, I'd

  I'd argue that tech bros know that social media screen time fries your brain and may try to keep their kids away from phones as much as possible.

    My experience among tech parents jives with that, FWIW. But even so: if techie kids are less likely to own phones, you need to be pushing 90%+ iPhone usage in working class schools, which is, again, nuts. These numbers are wrong when interpreted as a global sample, they just are.

  > Also, why would being a tech scion mean that you wouldn't want to use an iPhone? I think this is the opposite of what the person who is replying to you is saying. I'm going to disagree with both of you and say that I think that the kids of techies would be far less likely to have an iPhone, because they're more likely to judge technology on its merits rather than on marketing (for the same reason that both of my parents being programmers made me a programmer.) On the merits, iPhone/Android is going to be closer to a 50/50 split than an 87/13 split.
