    People in the UK still use "you have a smartphone" as some sort of indicator that you spend your money badly. As if there are any phones these days that aren't smartphones.

    It's no surprise that that mindset results in it being one of the first items to take a major hit to sales when people really start struggling.

    Eventually the phone market will start to look a lot like the car market because they're all the same now anyway.

      A bizzare, but unsurprising attitude. It's like Americans talking about car ownership as if it's some sort of luxury instead of a necessity. For better or for worse, smartphones are becoming necessary for modern life.
