> People choose their phones for various reasons, including features like screen size, camera quality and battery life. While budget may be a factor, a green bubble is not a strong indicator of a person’s income or social status. The author makes this argument and claims that not all rich people use iPhones, and not all Android phones are cheap, but ultimately isn't this a stereotype because it is largely true, in many circles? Sure, among the tech elite it's somewhat less true, since Android lets you tinker. But in mainstream America, I'd be surprised if there weren't a sizable correlation between income level or wealth and iPhone ownership. We still shouldn't be elitist about it, but it's understandable when someone makes assumptions about a dating prospect because he or she has an Android phone. It won't always be a correct assumption, but much of the time it will be.
