The flex is "i own an expensive phone" not the cable itself. Not that I think that is cool in any way, just explaining.

I mean the most expensive phones are Androids nowadays, like the Galaxy Z Fold5 that starts at $1799 for the one with the smallest storage..

iPhones are just more consistent pricing wise, though they also released budget versions by now, right?

You're exactly right. I think the most expensive iPhones are maybe $1k USD and the cheapest are around $400 USD. Android phones range from basically free to nearly $2k. iPhone fans look at it as fragmentation (because it is) and Android fans look at it as freedom of choice (because it is).

Christ that's a lot of money, I genuinely had no idea iPhones have gotten so expensive.

The baseline is $999. You can also throw a bunch of premium features into those Android numbers.
