It will be interesting to see if these phones will look sexy, smart, or cool in the hands of a user or if they might look a bit embarrassing or even make you feel a little bit sorry for the person who is using them... Just a thought. I think it will depend on the balance between price and functionality and the design. (I know that it's totally irrelevant what other people think of other people)

Some people may comment about it. Their eyes will light up, and they will ask you how you like it. You then could say: "It's great....expensive" . They might smile, then shake their head just thinking about that.

You will walk away glad that you made a new friend, and be proud of your new hi-tech purchase!

For you perhaps but then you’re not the one buying my iPhones are you? My Pro series collection are based on all my devices being in their max storage configuration, including my recently acquired 17 Pro Max.

You, or anyone else, for that matter don’t have to agree with how I choose the devices I place into my collection but then it’s not your money paying for them either . . . it’s mine. :apple:
I firmly believe people set up alt accounts to ask themselves such questions and then provide answers like this.

What an odd thing to say. I never look at other people using their own devices and feel embarrassed for them. I've also never worried what I look like to anyone else, using a device or not. If you care that much what nearby strangers are doing with their time or how these same strangers perceive you, you might be picking a phone for the wrong reasons.
I agree. Maybe you didn't read my last sentence.
And maybe my thoughts didn't come across the right way because I'm not a native english speaker.
It was just about speculation how this thing will be perceived by the general public. I think if something is seen as cool and sexy (for the wrong or right reasons) it will be a success.
Me personally, I don't care at all, and never did, what other people think of me, nor did I judge people for their devices.
You got me wrong.
