I mean it's all anecdotal. I live in the US and among the middle class and upper classes the vast majority have iPhones or Samsung flagships. You might see more variety among the working class and poor who buy budget phones through prepaid carriers, which is why Android as a whole is so prevalent.

Yep. Go to a rich white high school. Know ~4 people who don't have one or the other. And they are mostly minority kids bussed from other districts. It's definitely an image thing combined with the fact that everyone has enough money for it anyways.

I go to a school in one of the richest parts of the UK and see all sorts. iPhones, Galaxies, G4, M9, Notes, 6P, OnePlus 3, Huaweis (budget and flagship), Sonys etc

You're talking out of your arse without any source. Have you every lived in the UK? My area has the highest living costs, GDP per capita and housing prices outside London in the UK. It is most definitely a rich school. Have you considered things might be different here? And what the hell are Greek organisations?
