op based on your post history i assume you’re feeling very unsure of yourself and while it’s okay to feel lost i don’t think you should predicate your self worth on how you think others perceive you ): there’s no “right phone” to have or “right way” to spend your free time (see: the concept of the “trend cycle”), so personally i think that as long as what you have and what you do serves you well and brings you joy then no judgement can matter because you’re doing what’s right for you

Take this advice from a middle aged man. Nobody really cares about what somebody else is using. That applies to cars, houses and most certainly phones. It’s nice to get new things and it’s nice to feel special for a moment because of owning the new thing, but that quickly fades and you start to look for the new dopamine hit as the new becomes old. Think about if a friend buys a new fancy car. Sure, there’s that initial five minute conversation where they show off its new features and it looks lovely and shiny. Then it just becomes your car, not your new car and nobody cares anymore. People pay thousands over their budget for that initial five minutes of gratification. Stick to what you can afford and what makes you happy… you’ll save a fortune.

My dude, you need mental help.
