Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, try and survive a month without it.😐
@QasimRashid I agree with the basic point you're making - but - there are MANY very functional smartphones far, far less expensive than an iPhone.
I know because I own them (and one iPhone which oddly, I consider the least useful smartphone I own).
If I was poor AND I decided that the smartphone I *had* to own was an iPhone, well, it seems to indicate I might need help managing my financial resources.
Why should food benefits let you buy a premade sandwich you can just make your own for less
@hakirsch @QasimRashid How does that relate? Can you use food benefits to buy a smartphone?
And comparing a premade sandwich (which oddly, can be cheaper than home made) to the difference between say a $200 Android phone and a $1100 iPhone is a bit of a stretch.
I mean, that gap is why I don't own an iPhone and I can afford one.
