cell phone classism?

So I notice Yahwi has an Apple phone and Jooin and his pals have Samsung. Is this a class thing? I would think all Koreans would patriotically have Samsungs (top end models are not cheap either). Does having Apple mean you're snooty or just rich or what?

    Yeesss, I'm not the only one that has noticed this! Even in the k-dramas I have watched, they all have android cell phones like they have anything but apple phones

    haha so usually the samsung phones you see in kdramas are like promotions, usually the latest phome model out. however as a former resident of korea, however, its just common for people to use samsung over iphones. its like a 60-40 split between samsung and iphones users and korea. some rich people will get an iphone tho is they like the western lifestyle.

    Wow, 40% is still higher than I expected. It's 55/45 Android/iPhone in the US. Ok, so if I go to Korea I won't be a douche for using a iPhone then.
