imho that is some serious rationalization. you likely don’t see yourself as a flashy person so you have to construct a reality where the phone is the extreme of that — anonymous.

i have news for you. for anyone that does care, you can tell an iphone X all the way across the bar.




Why are you criticizing someone's personal aesthetic preferences? So you think that the iPhone X isn't understated. Doesn't mean that someone who disagrees is doing "serious rationalization" or "constructing a reality".


You've misread. I wouldn't dare to and I'm not criticizing someone's personal aesthetic preferences.

I'm commenting on their projection of their desired reality onto the real reality.


What real reality are you referring to? That the iPhone X looks flashy? Thats not an objective truth, its taste.

If someone likes driving Corvettes because they think it looks anonymous and non-descript. Who are you to tell them they're wrong. Its their opinion.
