It's time to not consider the iPhone a luxury item anymore

Recently, Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz stated that Americans must choose between spending on health care and spending on iPhones, that 'they might have to sacrifice the money they can spend. to buy the iPhone they're planning to spend hundreds of dollars on to invest in health. '

But looking back, this statement has too many mistakes. Because the iPhone is always the most expensive phone model, many people still consider it a luxury item, frivolous to 'show off'.

Chaffetz is one of the people who still thinks that 'having a smartphone is not going to be poor.' A part of netizens today still go crazy and throw stones when they see a homeless or poor person carrying a smartphone.

But smartphones are probably one of the most useful and worth the money that a person can afford to buy. It's a miniature computer that a normal person can use dozens of times a day - not just for taking selfies, watching videos, reading news but also to keep in touch with family, company, read books, compose mail, etc.

In some cases, owning a smartphone is a must in many offices. Phone bandwidth is the only channel that many collectors use to access the Internet or find jobs, because most of the latest jobs are updated on the Internet today. Many companies now consider smartphones an indispensable thing to keep in touch with employees anytime and anywhere, not to mention that smartphones are also the source of life for many people via on-demand services such as Uber, Lyft, Instacart, .

It's true that the iPhone is always in the top of the average-priced phone line, it's true that an Android usually costs only 1/3 of the iPhone, but if not counting the old iPhone models, many people remain loyal to the phone. Apple phone. The reason may be because they feel safer with iOS, their friends and family use iMessage, or also because they want to be updated on the latest version of the software, applications, Or maybe you just want a device that can be repaired immediately when needed, not an old HTC series that stores have to give up.

The bottom line here is, everyone should own a smartphone, or rather iPhone. It should not be considered a luxury item, a symbol of extravagance, but has become an integral part of the lives of low-income people.
