Fun fact: teenagers (16years old) who get their licence to drive is at an all time low - around 14%. I guess we know where all that car money is one going...High school- there is one android phone in my class of 26 kids. Rest are iPhone 4's.

I still like Windows Phone 7.

The ********s in this thread need to get off their high horses and stop pretending they've never heard of someone buying something because it's cool. Wake up. If you're posting on MR, the chances are you live in a postmodern society and 'cool' does matter to a lot of people. Form doesn't follow function anymore so why not grow some balls and admit that you're not actually all that blown away by the fact that someone might prefer an iPhone because it's cooler. Jeez, I started smoking when I was 16 because I thought it made me cool, I'm not going to pretend I actually needed the nicotine. Many people buy an iPhone just for its functionality, many buy it just for the status and many people buy it for a combination of both. So get the **** over it and welcome yourself to the world of brands. And if we're going to talk about being secure in yourself, in my opinion the OP seems much more secure in themself than a lot of you simply because they're actually willing to admit that they buy things that are 'cool'.
Right because starting smoking at 16 is real cool. Apple products are not cool and anyone that looks at consumer electronics as anything more than a tool is not a real serious man of reason and seriousness.
Oh yeah, and this is coming from a guy that is "cool"... (MBP 17, IPad 2 64, iPhone 4 32)
Let me tell you what's cool, raising a family with kids and having responsibilities and respect for the community as a reasonable citizen. Everyone else is a fool.
And who are you to stop them and their anti-cool swag. It's how they express themselves and defines their identity. Women love guys who think everything is BS because it makes them seem like they know the real deal. You see everyone has an angle, and theirs is how they know how to be. Don't try to fix that even though their negative existence is directly sustained by criticizing others' positive existences.
Why are you calling them out on their mode? How else can they compete with the so called "cool" people who DELIBERATELY admit in plain public they are, without shame, "trying to be cool!?" They don't even try to hide it!
Firstly, you completely missed the point about my smoking analogy. Obviously it's not cool but at least I'm not pretending I didn't think it was at the time and that 'being cool' wasn't important for me as a teen.
Secondly, is the rest of your post a joke? Don't get what you're trying to say.
Yeah it was all irony.
Pretty cool right?

I smoke because I WANT to, it's fun.
Ummmm you should never do anything because you think it's "cool". You should do it because you WANT to.
I bought the iPhone because I love the interface and design. I didn't care who had it or who wanted it.
I smoke because I WANT to, it's fun.
A lot of celebrities do coke and others do it because they know celebrities do it and it seems cool. Do I do coke? Nope never would, despite how "cool" it is.
Bottom line is I do things because I WANT to. I don't care who else is doing it or who else has it. Peer pressure should not have an affect on you and you shouldn't let people dictate what's "cool".
If I see other people doing something, Im gonna do it too...
I don't think I have ever heard smoking described as fun before!

Not denying your point for a moment. It's just that some posters, myself included, think that it's a pitiful reason to buy a phone, and sad that folks allow themselves to be dictated to by the trivial judgements of others.
You smoke "because it's fun"??!!!
I wish I could be as cool as the HTC president's 19 year old daughter
Smoking weed is fun for me and a lot of people.

Oh.. THAT kind of smoking. I don't call that smoking, in my world that is "doing drugs".

I can't say I've every tried that... Or the other kind.
