I walk through public housing on the way to subway every day, have not observed older than an iPhone 6 in the past couple years, including schoolkids.
Not a political judgement, just a data point. I don't think poor folks buying older or used iPhones is prevalent, in NYC at least.

- dvtv75 10y agoMaking an assumption like that ("I don't think poor folks buying older or used iPhones is prevalent") is a bit foolish given the vastly incomplete "data point" you cite. Until you can tell us how many smartphones you see, what percentage of them are iPhones, how often you see them, how the iPhone was acquired, and the apparent class of the person carrying it, you're just saying things that reinforce your viewpoint without any way of disproving it. Might also help if you can admit any bias you have to start with - do you really think that poor people are poor because they can't budget, spend unwisely, and are lazy?
