Fanboys are not the same as people flaunting wealth.

while they are not the same, a lot of people who use either Apple or Samsung are both, and will constantly fight against right to repair when they don't know what they're even talking about, for very stupid reasons, and constantly fight against open standards that are just better, like using type-c for their products, etc etc. these people buy iPhones for the image of wealth, I agree, but these same people also argue about its apps and ecosystem's and argue that rich, trillion dollar companies are fine and pose no threat, because it is completely fine to be a monopoly and choke hold the industry. they defend their status symbol in every opportunity they get, and often times I've seen them make it personal, probably because its personal for them.

sometimes I see these same people who buy Apple as a show of "wealth," get into those political arguments when they just have no idea what they're talking about, because for some reason they want to defend the status symbol Apple or Samsing is even if it kills people and the planet.

That's just my observation over the years.
