Apple sold 2.5 BILLION iPhones (as of 2023, so not counting 2024), and
you are trying to tell us that a survey of 1000 people is significant?
Quick question: How many times do you think 1000 goes into 2.5 billion? 
The article also tells nothing about how these people were selected or
approached for questioning - but you're certain the outcome is relevant?
Do you work for a circus, by chance?

I know many people who use iPhones. I don't know any of them who think
less of anyone simply due to what kind of phone they happen to use.And
while I realize this is anecdotal, I find it hard to believe a
significant number of iPhone users even care about such a trivial thing.
This whole thing smacks of anti-intellectual tribalism (aka zealotry)
being pushed by trolls.
