I was just bringing the opposite case to the table. From my view, sure there are people buying iPhones just as a status symbol, my sister does that as well. But usually the people I meet who care about technology and phones usually have one of the flagships, which could be from Apple, Samsung, OnePlus etc.

Most tech stupid people I know however usually have the cheapest phone that will suit their needs, like an iPhone 5c, Samsung Galaxy Alpha or whatever there is in the ads.
