A person that buys a 5 year old version of an iPhone, is probably either a frugal person and/or a person that does not have too much money. To me it seems like a person that is used to think about how to stretch her/his wage. I find it interesting that you can say to this person: "You're not putting yourself in the shoes, nor the mindset of a poor person". Have you walked in this HN member's shoes in different stages of her/his life?
