I think there's a big difference in the effect that the new iPhone has on social stability than the effect of the introduction of an entirely new way to discrimante against the poor.
"People are already unequal" isn't a good defence to the introduction of something that would make it worse. It's like saying "Screw it, it's already broke, let's burn this baby down". That's not a good attitude to have on social class and inequality.
