I think that we can safely classify "internet access" as a necessity in first-world nations, regardless of income. But I'll happily say that iPads are a luxury when $30 Android phones exist. I have 3x Kyocera Hydras that I got on sale for $9 apiece, and they get the very same internet that a $650 iPad does.
