... Prestige.

Here, people in high-prestige workplaces usually use #iphone instead of #android phones. Holding one in a crowd sends "Look, I'm Rich" vibes. Culture is funny. #crossculture #leofinance #stemgeeks

I think that's what the Apple products are already known for. 😆 Still it's Android all the way for me.

While I'm Android all the way for a phone, I'd like an iPad if I had the opportunity because I heard it's a great device for art and I've seen a lot of comparison reviews.

If it's better than a Wacom or other tablets then go for it.

It's a close second compared to Wacom, I think having a multipurpose device is better than having drawing-only for me.

It's not a priority for me though, there are multiple similarly priced things I want to have that are higher in my priority list.

I think it's that way a lot of places, but some people grow out of it.

While I don't want an iPhone, I'd like to get an iPad eventually. I heard seems more stable for art than an Android. Right now, I can't afford to spend extra on an iPad so there's that.

Kind of the bad way to gate keep^^

I agree it's a bad way to gate keep, I hope my buzz doesn't increase the gate keeping more.

Not on my side^^ especially not on the that level and with that method. !ALIVE

What is "gate keeping" ?

Posted via D.Buzz

ChatGPT says: Gatekeeping refers to the act of controlling access to a certain activity, community, knowledge, or identity. It involves individuals or groups asserting authority to determine who is allowed to participate or be considered a part of a specific domain. ..

Gatekeeping can manifest in various contexts, such as social groups, online communities, professional fields, and cultural spheres.

And that's what I do understand under Gate Keeping.

Posted via D.Buzz

As @master-lamps said, gatekeeping is the act of a community to not allow people below their standards to do the same things they do.

Someone Gate Keeping iPhones would shun others who think they're below his standard to have it or spread rumors that discourage new iPhone owners.

Well, iCloud does sound really convenient and I hear Apples has a way to locate it if it got ever lost. That'd be nice!

Too expensive though, at least in my country.

Once I lost the phone drunk in a cab, and in morning after I was wondering there it was. It was still in the cab, but I had any option to reach the driver, so I simply drove to the location of cab. As cab driver astonishingly asked me, how I would know about phone location...

Is it explicit or more subversive? !ALIVE

It's just an observation of mine, it's a subtle in my society.

Subjectively I observed the same, you need to past those gate keepers.

There are many exceptions, but generally that's how I saw iPhone vs Android thing here in Libya. Only people who can afford extra have iPhones, or those who really need one exclusive functionality.

It's important on which level one is make it decision in regards of a phone.

That's true!

If you can use an iPhone, because you can skip some worries you might have using an Android.
