It’s not simply an age thing. I’m in my 40s and have definitely witnessed the judgment in the dating scene.

Easy way to filter out the shallow people not worth your time

Ok, fair, I've been married for over two decades. I don't get why anyone would care though.

It’s not that difficult to understand. An iPhone is a symbol of affluence, and that aspect is important to many people who are looking for a mate.

Edited to add: And as dating has shifted to being mostly online, the first real connection you have with a potential mate outside of the apps is via text.

Yeah, but there are Android phones which are unquestionably also a symbol of affluence, like foldables.

Don’t bring reason and logic into this. It’s not logical. It’s a wide-sweeping generality, but it is reality nonetheless.
