iPhones Are for the Poor: When Digital Comfort Becomes a Trap

Being plugged in used to feel powerful. Now it just means you had no other choice. Can’t afford a personal trainer? You watch free workouts on YouTube. Can’t get your kid into a good school? Zoom classes will have to do.

You're not rich. You're just always online.

Being plugged in used to feel powerful. Now it just means you had no other choice.
Can’t afford a personal trainer? You watch free workouts on YouTube.
Can’t get your kid into a good school? Zoom classes will have to do.
No time (or money) for a real doctor? There’s always that chatbot app with a smiley logo.

You’re not optimizing. You’re just settling.

Welcome to the Digital Ghetto

We live in a world where “digital convenience” has become a modern class divide.
Think about it: if a machine tells you you're sick, or your only date this month was a chatbot with cleavage — you're not living the future.
You're living in the digital ghetto, where services replace people, and servers replace connection.

The real rich? They’ve gone retro.

• They eat what their chef cooks, not what the app delivers.

• Their kids learn from humans, not playlists.

• Their wellness is handled by a doctor with a pulse, not an algorithm.

Digital Comfort Is a Beautiful Cage

When you order food through an app, you're not the king — you're your own waiter.
When you “stream” therapy, you’re not healing — you’re cutting costs.
When you swap real conversations for a podcast — you’ve traded contact for content.

And yet you think that the latest iPhone Pro Max is your ticket to elite status?

No. It's your leash.
It makes you trackable, predictable, and controllable.

The Rich Have What You Don’t: People and Time

You can afford a $2,000 gadget — but not silence.
You can’t ignore a ping. Can’t turn off your phone.
Because once you disconnect, you disappear.

Meanwhile, the truly rich? They do what you can’t:
They vanish from the feed.

• Their kids don’t use iPads — they have nannies, not Siri.

• Their aging parents don’t talk to animated cats — they have family, not apps.

• They’re not on Telegram — they are the event, not a follower.

Real Luxury Is Human

You can buy tech.
You can rent content.
But you can’t download human presence.
You can’t stream intimacy.
You can’t subscribe to real connection.

And now? Human contact is luxury-class.
Like handmade suits. Like 25-year-old Scotch.
Rare. Personal. And out of reach for most.

Unplug If You Want to Win

In today’s world, power means being offline by choice.
It means not needing notifications.
It means having the freedom to meet people face-to-face instead of jumping on yet another Zoom.

So ask yourself:

Are you just a well-fed user of tech comfort?
Or are you a man who owns his time?

Poor men buy iPhones.
Rich men buy freedom.
What did you buy this month?
