      Ok, fair, I’ve been married for over two decades. I don’t get why anyone would care though.

        It’s not that difficult to understand. An iPhone is a symbol of affluence, and that aspect is important to many people who are looking for a mate.

        Edited to add: And as dating has shifted to being mostly online, the first real connection you have with a potential mate outside of the apps is via text.

          Yeah, but there are Android phones which are unquestionably also a symbol of affluence, like foldables.
