To be fair, you sound more boomer than Gen X. Most yoof can't afford the top range phones, and for those that can, how is that different from any other generation's yooful acquisition of status symbols (cars/motorbikes/whatever).
If you were proper Gen X, you'd recall that it was the slacker generation, i.e. it lacked ambition.

In my view, a car or motorbike is not the same as a new phone every year. A car can get you to work and enable a grown up life, it requires investment, learning, and to pass a test. This is not trivial and the lessons learned from succeeding and the benefits given are more than getting a phone.
Most of the youngsters I know all have the latest iphone. Replacing one every one to two years is wasting money that could be better spent elsewhere. Just IMO.

I wonder what the difference is between how a boomer and a Gen-X sound.
