I'm pretty sure the whole "iPhone as a status symbol" thing is a thing of the past - I literally can't remember anytime in the last 5 years that anyone expressed envy at someone owning a iphone.

I'd argue that yearly upgrades regardless of phone brand are more of the status symbol now

Oh I agree entirely when it comes to people expressing envy or something. But I still see people bring up the status symbol argument when debating whether iOS or Android is superior.
