Easy, almost anyone can afford 36 $50 payments. Most fast food employees can afford that.
On the other hand, I think as a country, an astonishing amount of people would be in a very bad spots if we head into an economic downturn.

except if those fast food employees ceases to be employees in a downturn.
The problem is that taking on debt for consumable products is not a good financial decision. You don't need an iphone - you can live with a low-end android that could be had for less than $200.

Which just doesn’t happen in practice. I didn’t make any other claims in my comment.
I was worried about the lack of sim card on the new iPhone due to travel but looking around I found many online eSIM providers. Easier than finding a local provider and you can get regional/global ones too.
May I ask what your use case is? Is it local phone numbers where country regulations prevent eSIM voice? That's the only downside I found but not relevant to my needs.
