I guess this is based on the idea that iPhones are expensive or exclusive? Or rather, some people think that iPhone owners think they're elite for having what is actually the most common phone in the US? They haven't been the most expensive phones on the market for at least 7 years.

Americans flex about the weirdest things.

The most common truck, the most common phone, food from the most ubiquitous fast food joint, having merch from the most popular artists and sports teams.

Those are their biggest flexs.

Yeah buddy, great flex with your Taylor swift hoodie, Starbucks frap, iPhone 12 in your Ford F-150.

Its especially confusing because for many, many years, and even still today, American's are pushed to be UNIQUE and whenever anyone is UNIQUE then people criticize them for enjoying or doing things outside whatever is ubiquitous for whatever thing. Its ridiculous honestly.
