How could this be viewed as a flex. It would be akin to viewing someone burning money in a sealed plexiglass cage where they also need to announce how easy it was to enter.

My iPhone cost $125. I bought it last year and according to the menu, it’s an SE2. It’s the fourth iPhone I’ve had since 2012, for which I’ve paid a total of <$350. My last one never broke, but it had 16 gigs and was sadly no longer really usable.

I don’t really care about my phone, my favorite thing about it is the size, but I stick to iPhones because it’s so easy to just log into the phone and have your old phone virtually.

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.
