Most adults, it's probably not a thing. It's a big deal to kids and teens though. My daughter hates all the ads she gets but when she bought her first phone that wasn't a hand me down, she went iPhone because of the bubbles and friends. I guess peer pressure is stronger than her dislike of advertising, that I can easily bypass on my android.

I mean, that only really makes the argument for stereotyping people for having different brands of phone (the point of OP) weaker if it's just childish kid/teenage behaviour.
