He is using an Android phone - NoCV

A close friend of mine introduced someone to me after I mentioned that I was in urgent need of a certain service. He assured me that this guy was very good and reliable. When I finally met him, I was impressed. The way he spoke with so much confidence and knowledge made me believe he was indeed the right person for the job. He carried himself like a professional who had been doing this for years. But there is one thing I cannot get off my mind. In this big 2025, when almost everyone serious about their craft is trying to present a polished image, this man is still using an Android phone. It may sound like a small detail, but perception matters a lot these days. I kept asking myself, if someone is really doing well in his field, why is he still using an Android phone instead of an iPhone. Now my worry has shifted from just how good he is at his work to what could happen if I introduce him to my boss. Imagine if my boss sends him a huge payment for the project and he disappears with the money. It will not only stain my name but could even affect my own job. My friend keeps insisting that the guy is trustworthy but trust is very expensive, especially in a country where people vanish after collecting advance payment. So I am stuck between giving him the opportunity and protecting my own reputation. Please advice me on how to handle this situation. Thank you.
