A bit like that here in UK. My job includes asking up to 150 people per day to switch off their phones. They are all late teens to middle aged. Majority are teens/early twenties. iPhones are by far the majority for younger British people. Others tend to be Samsung, Oppo or One+.
I think its a fashion statement thing, and don’t forget the teens probably have their bill paid by their parents.
Truly fascinating. How anyone even imagines the design of these is beyond me.
An Arthur C Clarke magic moment.
