How can Apple products be status items when over 60% of smartphones in the US are iPhones? Is Coca-Cola a status item? Is it possible that they're just good products that deliver good value to the majority of people who buy them? Is a $1300 Galaxy S24 Ultra not a status item?

- zuhsetaqi 3y agoI wouldn’t say a general suit and/or tie are a status item. Maybe if it’s a expensive one. A beard definitely isn’t a status item. That’s like saying black hair are a status item

- jojobas 3y ago"I spent 50-200% more on an item of similar utility" is a status statement, even if every other guy can afford it. Bonus points for a new iphone every time one is released. You can make your own conclusions about people who are affected by such status statements.
