>I can afford to get the new iPhone every year or two if I wanted

Maybe that's what the difference is. Being able to afford these things means you might not feel a similar need to posture that you can afford a certain lifestyle that you really can't. I'm guessing that at minimum wage most would struggle financially especially in a large city like NYC, so being able to pull the newest iPhone out of their pocket might be their way of assuring themselves and people around them that they are doing alright financially.

This is super interesting, I'm about to undergo a small DIY smart mirror project and wanted touchscreen capabilities but all the hardware solutions seemed impractical and expensive. This might be a super easy way to make that work.
