an iphone is a necessity. lunch is a necessity. a game isnt. its that simple.

A smart phone is NOT a necessity. Unless you're refering to the mindset of the average joe.

but a phone is. and one is much more inclined to spend more money on a necessity than on a luxary. 

Maybe a landline but not mobile. You don't NEED to be reachable when you're at the store buying a frozen pizza, you just WANT to be. You don't NEED to be able to google how to spell a word when you're walking with your friend, but you WANT to have that ability. You don't NEED turn by turn nav, you just WANT it.

There is a difference. And I'm not being a snob, I own an iPhone like everyone else. But I know damn well I don't need it. It's a luxary.
