Just saying it's hard for you to brag about a phone when you have to ask permission for a new one... Or well have them buy it.. Whichever.
That's all I was saying

give it a rest everyone understood what you were trying to say the first time round.
and your reasoning is flawed anyway.
alexlam24 was defending the brand, not a particular model. someone mentioned a gold iphone and he thought about the htc one made of pure gold.
people brag about Apple or any other companies all the time. they don't own the companies nor do they probably have shares of those companies. they probably even just have one of their devices yet they put the mac pro, the apple tv, the macbook air all inside the same bag and brag about 'apple'.
people brag about their favourite sports team and they don't own the sports team. they probably don't own shares or are paying members of the club that team represents.
people just like stuff or feel passionate about something and they brag about it and put the competition down at the same time. if they own it or if they could afford it or if it was bought to them as a gift is totally irrelevant.
in fact, i find it to be more noble to brag about something you don't have than to brag about something you do.
