With the way our world works celebrities have become mega influential. On top of that, since they can essentially afford anything, doesn't it make you curious as to what phone they're using?
It begs the question, does having an iPhone make you more prestigious? What is your identity if you have a Samsung, or a Google? What do you value if you're still sporting a Motorola flip phone? We can really look up to celebrities and their value systems, which is why I was excited to research and look into this!
Jason Derulo
I found an Instagram reel that saw him using an iPhone. Based on the camera set up and date it was posted it is either an iPhone 13 or iPhone 14. I wonder why he didn't get the pro model since he's really into content creation nowadays? There is always the possibility that he was using someone else's phone and his phone was recording the content.

Justin Bieber
Justin has been with iPhone for a while but has had Samsungs in the past. The most recent photo I found was just before the release of the iPhone 14 series and it looks like he had an iPhone 13 Pro with buite a bulky green case.

Ariana Grande
Based on a selfie posted on Instagram, again before the release of the iPhone 14 series, it looks like she has the iPhone 11 Pro. You can tell the difference due to the size of the camera sensor.

Shaq O'Neal
The big man. While it's really hard to tell whether he has a Pro or Pro Max (due to his size obviously) he definitely has an iPhone. Based on the sensor size it looks like an iPhone 13 Pro.

Alex Morgan
Superstar soccer player Alex Morgan looks to be sporting an iPhone 13 Pro. The cameras look a bit smaller than the ones on the 14 Pro and the sensor is better than the 12 series.

Mark Zuckerberg
We finally have our first Samsung User. This requires a fair bit of zoom work of this photo by the lake. At the onset it's really hard to tell, but I can zoom in enough to at least see that it's 3 camera lenses on top of each other. This is sported by the Samsung Galaxy S21 and S22.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
I know The Rock has an iPhone but due to the positioning of the phone in the videos he posts it's hard to get the exact model. Based on the camera and sensor size I think it's an iPhone 14 Pro. But it could also be a 13 Pro.

Leo Messi
This soccer legend sports an iPhone. Based on the photos it's hard to tell which model. But the flatter frame indicates that it's a 12 series or later. Notice it's also gold 🤩
Dua Lipa
Dua sports an Apple iPhone. I can't tell exactly what model due to the distance of the phone but based on the camera sizes I would assume it's an iPhone 13 or 14 Pro.

I think that's enough for now. I will continually update this list and add new celebrities. Which celebrity should be next on this list?
