    Korea is extremely class conscious and people treat people differently based on perceived wealth. iPhone being considerably expensive than Samsung offerings in Korea is an instant wealth signifier and having an iPhone means you are perceived as upper rich class than those pesky poor Samsung, which is now associated with old people or who couldn’t afford an iPhone.

    I bought exactly one Samsung phone in my life. It was mostly fine but all the uninstallable crapware made me never want to buy another one.

      Yeah, I quite like Samsung hardware, but everything they make is just bloated ad-filled crap. From phones to TVs I wouldn’t touch them. Only things like low-level components that can’t possibly have ads injected. (The day a Samsung NVME SSD has ads will be a sad day)
