Plus that iphones / smartphones are a lot cheaper and yet offer a lot more than cars do. Don't need to drive to the mall to catch up with friends anymore. People complain about the iphone x being $1000 (and previous iphones being $600, etc), but they forget that cars cost a multiple of that, both in purchase and maintenance / fuel / etc. And they don't have as much apps or knobs or screens as smartphones.
Another reason is that the car is on decline as a status symbol. Tech gadgets such as iPhones are taking this place now.
