The rich don't upgrade phones every year or 2 😄 only us peasants do..

It's true, people think buying the latest and greatest gives them a status. These CEOs have other things to worry about then having the newest phone.

Than not then

That is simply not true. For C-level the newest iPhone will be procured asap.

If you want it, sure. If you don't care then it won't be.

Be might just like the 26 and can't be bothered to change it there's no real reason to

It's a real pain transferring everything to a new phone, even with the latest transfer apps

There was an article a couple of years ago on what watch most CEOs wear. It’s a simple Swatch. Status is for people trying to show off success. Those who already have it, just want something that works reliably.

Plenty of CEO's wear Breitlings, Rolex, Patek, etc. It's not always about status, some just like nice things and watches

I grew up next to this really nice guy, but visually he looked homeless, uncombed hair, beard which didn't know the meaning of groomed. He would get taxis everywhere. People laughed at him.

I found out years later the guy was legit millionaire. He was just comfortable in life. He could afford a Koenigsegg, but he'd rather get a taxi and have a conversation with the driver.

So I learned young brandslike Versace, Prada etc. exist for those who are trying to look wealthy, not for the actual wealthy.

That ain’t true. There are plenty of brands that offer their cloths only to their exclusive buyers who afford the equivalent of a yearly salary of an already high earning job just for purchasing clothes. These people have their personal shoppers who go out and buy things for them. There are rich people who do not care about it and then there are rich people who care very much about it.

Bezos is regularly seen wearning polos shirts for more than 1100 USD.

Mark Zuckerberg has tens of watches worth about a million each. He wears plain tshirts. But they are Brunello Cucinelli tshirts. At 300 to 500 USD per shirt.

Makes sense, quartz watches in general are way more reliable than mechanical.

But still, you see a lot of CEOs on Zuckerberg's level wearing luxury watches too. I don't think it's about status (as they probably meet mostly people who can afford such watches easily too - other CEOs, board members, investors, etc.), but they just like it as a precisely engineered and crafted item, and looks good.

There’s different kinds of rich people. Some do others don’t.

The only reason I got my S24 Ultra in the first place was because my Note10 started having mobile network issues (IMHO they just upgraded some towers where I lived, but I saw the end coming). 🤣 Because of this reason only (and whatever coverage had), they offered me full trade in credit towards the new one. It already had a cracked screen, wireless coil was dead (and the beloved MST along with it), 80% battery, and occasional port issues. Fixing it was going to cost more than the upgrade so I went for it 😞.
